Thanks so much for ALL the responses. I've taken Angel's advice & created a new folder entitled "Progs"
Yet, I don't know where to put it, as I have the following 3 folders in my C-drive: "Progs" "My Web Sites" and "Program Files (x86)" The first 2 of these 3 folders are empty, and the 3rd one contains my "GnuWin32" file. (I very recently downloaded GnuWin32 sed 4.2.1 but have not yet successfuly used it.) I might also need some information as to HOW to put the folder where I need it. >________________________________ > From: Ángel González <[email protected]> >To: David H.
