Hi Teresa. Thanks for your help on this. I finally figured out that I could get it to work only if I went into list view with command 2. I usually keep mine in column view in Finder, and I am finding it doesn't work very well at all in column view. I had done the interacting before, but had not gotten into list view. You gave me the hint I needed.
