Thanks, I wish to ad some sites that I don't wish anybody using this computer going to. I don't know anything about Unix, but I recon I will work it out by seeing what is already written.I could this in Windows with no problems. How do I unhide files on the Mac? I do understand the risks, so am careful. Thanks to all. Max. On 18/10/2012, at 12:06 PM, Esther <mori...@mac.com> wrote:
