            Ok, thanks, I just need to know what my options are. Should
            have suspected "fstab" and I will look at auto.home and
            auto.misc ...

            I'm presently struggling with an Apple Mac, completely
            foreign to me! If only I can find a "terminal" with a
            command line.
