   (Sheesh..  Ctrl K Y for a block delete?  I am not sure if I will remember     
   all these editing codes!)   
      
   Meanwhile, it looks like the packer settings where the problem.  A     
   previous message looks like it went out. If this next message gets out,     
   then this thing can now operate.   
      
   It was not obvious that UPLOADS packer could be empty, *but* DOWNLOADS     
   packer could not.   
      
   This program is quite a "puzzle" to keep the brain active.
