ah...  very good - thanks.

fyi - for anyone else reading this and wants to know - here's what i
did --

    @Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);

        AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) menuInfo;

        // info.position is now the position in the GridView that was
selected (zero based index).
    }

Thanks for your help.
