It is taking 5-7 seconds from when I click on a menu selection until the
computer responds in FF, TB, etc. I ran top and found several (4)
processes of thunar running. I do not have any file manager open. I
wrote about this a bit ago. I was given an instruction to kill the
process then but

I have been using the xbase language (dbase, foxpro, etc.) for about 36
years, writing applicatios for my alarm company, so each database is a
separate file for me. For the last 21 years, I have been using Linux,
and have found that sqlite is my best match for Linux database use.

I tried to open a text file (a foxpro source file with a .prg
extension). The default option was thunar, not mousepad. I got the
pointer with the circle indicating that its was doing something. After
about a minute, I opened the file with mousepad, read it and closed it.
