   Thanks, that rates a big 'DUH!' on my part. I might have seen that screen   
   before long ago, but it's not the one that I used to share the subdirectory I   
   wanted to share.  I think the one I used was on the fifth tab, but of course I   
   can't find it now. OTOH, I don't need to.   
      
   Thanks again!
