Thanks for all that information. I also made contact with Apple support
today. Not an easy thing to do. She had a look at what I had downloaded
, and eventually explained that I was downloading the wrong LMS. I
needed one for macOS Catalina not LMS Mac OSX). So I searched again and
there is material on the Logitech website headed "Important information
for Logitech Control Centre and macOS Catalina and Mojave". It explains
that you have to update the Logitech Control Centre BEFORE installing
macOS Catalina. Now they tell me. It also gives a link to the Download 
page. Then there is a link to "LCC permission prompts on macOS
Catalina". It states that "Starting with macOS Catalina, (10.15) Apple
has a new policy that requires user permission for LCC software for the
following features:

INPUT MONITORING is needed for the device software functionality to
work
SCREEN RECORDING is needed to record your screen to use the screen
capture function
ACCESS TO FILES AND FOLDERS for Open file/folder tasks

Don't know whether that makes any sense.

It all looks great until you try to do it when once again the
screenshots shown in detail on the support pages are nothing like the
ones that come up on my screen, and the LCC will download to file/folder
but won't install or open. No idea whether, if I ever get that bit
sorted, I then have to download and install LMS as well.
Maybe it's because I have already installed Catalina, but there is no
instruction that it should be uninstalled first.  Would I lose
everything if I did? 

Heartily fed up with the whole thing. 

But at least Logitech acknowledged elsewhere that there is a problem,
and that they are still working on it with Apple.

I'll study your very kind and helpful information when I gather strength
tomorrow morning and see if there is something there that will work.
Don't think I've ever heard of "Logitech Control Centre" though.

Your advice is very much appreciated, I can assure you.

Allen
