Thank you Daniel.
Clicking on either list view or detail view once or twice just brings
it or from one to another. Right clicking on the directory doesn't
allow me to do anything.
Clicking on list vies does show **two** columns in the window. However,
the individual, single files are the first, at the top, instead of
under the directories. Which have always been on the top.
The detail view delivers a single column, the individual files are still
shown at the top instead of below the directories.
Ce la vie. I think I will just have to live with it.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Stay well,
Charlie
