        Dear Jeremy Thanks for the help! Yes they are the WPOffice Suite apps,
and I didn't select a printer because mine wasn't there. I have finally
gotten some help at the corellinux.support newsgroup which is promising.
currently I am experimenting with backing up the few files and the
address book(s) we worked on. Now I am trying to find the instructions
for partitioning my drive into /, /home and /swap, and then reinstalling
in an effort to regain use of the aforementioned .  The advice is that
this will be a sort of virtual backup in case of system problems. Have
you heard of this? http://tmp2.complete.org/cgi-bin/listargate-aclug.cgi
