Hi Dennis, I'm going to elaborate more on Paul's message, entering the steps numerically and fixing a few things.
1. From the main menu, press f for the file manager. 2. Next, press d for the directory option. 3. If you are given a folder name that is not on the flash disk, press backspace so you are given the drive list. Press f for the flash disk. 4. At the foldername prompt, press spacebar and then k (not together) to jump to the keylist folder. 5. Press space with x (read with x) to view all files. 6. Find the file called email folders.cdb. From your previous message, it seemed that you hadn't deleted this file, otherwise you should not be receiving the "operation completed successfully message" Press backspace with c (control with 8?) to erase the file and y to confirm the erasure. 6. Next, if you want to reload a backup (hats off to you for backing up my friend), go to the utilities menu by pressing u from the main menu. 6a. press b to backup or restore files 6b. Select the folder and drive that your backup folder is on, and follow the prompts in order to restore the keylist folder. 7. To create a new database, simply go into keymail, and press w to write an email. You should be prompted that no database exists, and would you like to create one? Pressing y will give you a fresh database. Now, as to your other question: the only file that I deleted on the flash disk is the sample excerpt from A Christmas Carol in the My Books folder. HTH, Laura "Neither of us [Yoko and I] want to make the mistake that Gandhi and Martin Luther King did, which is get killed one way or the other. Because people only like dead saints, and I refuse to be a saint or a martyr."
