Dear Jolin,
A brilliant suggestion. I miss Find File desperately. It was a FINDER.
Sherlock is, like the name suggests, a DETECTIVE. There is a place for
both, but if I need directions to the Post Office, I don't need to ask
the Chief of Police.
I'm going to hunt out Find File and put it in today.
Yours sincerely,
John Davis
