Hi Cheri -

Now I know it is not me. There is absolutely nothing under the three small
icons you mentioned, nor is there anything to the right of the Principal. I
am using version 5.4...upgraded from previous version. Do you or anyone else
think I have a bug in the program...or is there possibly some advanced
button I have to turn on to see this.

Thanks to you and anyone else that is helping! I really am learning from
these discussions.... today I am researching the archives to decide the
choice to use clooz and how to make a semblance of order with my filing
system!!!! :)
Helen
