Thanks. I will check that out. This wouldn't be such a huge deal--I wouldn't even have known it was there--except that I get some E-mail that is either signed or encrypted, and as I highlight messages in the tree (if that pane is showing) it prompts me for a pass phrase. I suppose I could just move those messages to their own folder and stop tripping over them. That password screen is tricky to get rid of. It's probably pretty easy; I am not seeing things in Window-Eyes that I always saw in JAWS without effort. And the stinking mouse pointer sometimes refuses to move even when window is set to full screen. How are your unix chops? I need to get a list of sub directories and sub sub directories with complete path from root, one to a line and exclusive of filenames. LS doesn't appear to work. I think find might turn the trick, but it's hair keeps getting in my way of progress.
