But then I wouldn't do the rename either. :-) You've convinced me to keep it as standard as I can, and since it now works or at least seems to work in any of several ways, including original there isn't any reason to left to customize off on my own. I grabbed the original files that I've been editing (I copied all originals as I usually do), and have set it back in the original way. Seems to work. So back it is.. I really took your advice to heart about documenting any changes made in some plainly recognizable way... I've hit the speed bump a few times, where I look at some edit I made, maybe yrs ago and can't even imagine what I was trying to do, let alone remember it. At my age, that becomes more and more important. Thanks again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
