   No.  There is just "> />Netcall", and two echo areas.

   Done.   But just to let you know, the cursor did *not* want to automatically   
   land on the "Double click" field.  In other words, the "Then,  your way   
   through all.." did not leave/close the window. As a result, my change in "Show   
   mode" did not stick.  :(   After I went back in, and manually selected "Double   
   click", then , then the whole window closed,  ...and the "All" setting   
   stuck as required when I restarted.

   No netmail area. Nothing in FILES.  I am adrift...
