Success ! I've been playing around with it since lunch finished - i.e. for a while! The program 'odvr' kept reporting that my test files were an unhandled quality (the VN-2100PC records in XHQ, HQ, SP or LP). After some experimentation I found 'odvr' works only in XHQ - not truly a problem as I never get near the limits of the device storage. So here we have a very happy bunny now able to do EVERYTHING he needs using Ubuntu 12.04 Linux. Thank you all - especially Tim - for exemplary support. Ain't Linux great!
