Hmmm.  You got an error, but the secrets file was there.  Not sure whether
that is significant or not.

Know what you mean, and it isn't helped when the Win2k bloke has a rather
high opinion of himself (arrogance of youth, BillG can do no wrong and all
that.)  I probably would have had my problem solved several days earlier if
he had been willing to take that tiny step out of his expertise area and
towards mine.  Instead I had to try and enter his, not really what I wanted
to have to do - I got enough Slowaris troubles to keep me busy.  :-)
