Yep works. You know how to do this from another computer on the network?

See my other thread... have installed ssh but can't connect because I don't know user names/passwords!

What do you mean *real* files? Could you explain a bit further what you are doing.
My 770 is on order and I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can before it arrives...I'm retired and I'm trying to prove to myself that you really can teach an old dog new tricks
Thanks,
Flip

If you want to have a look around the rest of the linux filesystem, the browser is a great way to do it - you could do it with xterm (if you install it), but it saves all that typing of directory names...

You can use File Manager to browse the entire filesystem creating a symbolic link into MyDocs directory. You must use X Terminal Emulator to do that. Open it and write:
You can change Root for another name you like.
I find it a bit slow sometimes, i think is because some directories have a lot of files.
Of course you can make any symbolic links pointing other directories as well.
Code:
cd ~/MyDocs ln -s / Root

Thanks for the symbolic link tip! Is there a way to get File Manager to show all files? (unknown extensions and hidden files)

I'm a novice but I learn a lot just by reading...I actually installed new usb2 ports on this old Dell a few weeks ago and was so proud of myself I may never stop talking about it...
...to the point I've been told not to let it go to my head
