Theo -
That did it!! Many thanks.
By the way, after opening the VNC window and leaving, when I go to the
server, the Network Alert icon is no longer there. It is probably due
to my saying Yes when I came up in VNCviewer and it asked if wanted to
delete an applet (I think it was an applet).
Would you know if any damage has been done and how I can restore the
function that checks to see if I need to do an update?
