Thanks, Eric, for your quick response. I tried the drag and drop,
but that did not work for me, whether I dragged from the USB key drive
to VPC (no transfer, no link) I dragged from the Mac Desktop to
the VPC. Again no file transfer, no link. I had the emulator running
and active at the time. My pal is not running a mail program on his
Virtual PC, and disconnects his network connection while the VPC is
active, so your mail option seems to be out. I think that we will try
your suggestion to use the VPC preferences to share an OSX directory
with VPC. Report will follow.
Again, thanks.

That gets me into that operating system much deeper than
I ever want to be.

Thanks for this confirmation.

They did not show up. It seems that the Virtual PC is not that smart,
or that feature is turned off.
