I thought it was something stupid like this.  That worked just fine. 
Thank you, Terry.

Ok, next stupid question.  When you have a directory like Program Files
and you're trying to cd to it on the CL, how do you do it?  I stumbled
across this a long time ago, but I've since forgotten it.  cd Program
Files returns an error like No directory named Program.  Of course it
doesn't work with cd Program_Files, cd Program-Files, cd ProgramFiles,
etc., and ls -al just shows it as Program Files, so it doesn't tell me
what Linux ACTUALLY sees the directory name as.

Thanks again for your help Terry.  I can actually see that Windoze stuff
now.  Now, I gotta get some of that stuff running under Wine.  :)
