I am not set up to compile anything as I'm not sure I have the time to
learn <GGG>

Good old F2! It makes for so many links to other features.

QV showed up another problem yesterday, when my SIL sent me some photos;
I don't have enough RAM on this computer (only 16 Mb) to handle large
bitmaps.

Of course the new WinXP computer with 256Mb doesn't have this problem,
but then I have to move the files over to it.

But thanks for the suggestions.
