Of course, you can achieve the same using some file manipulation GUI,
like konqueror. But those usually hide the directories (and files) that
begin with a dot '.', so you must type the directory name (.bcast) into
some address bar to force the tool to list the contents.
Didn't know if I needed to be root to do this or not. Here is what I got
in return.

Don't be root!

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls $home/.bcast/cinelerra_rc
ls: /.bcast/cinelerra_rc: No such file or directory

Oops, it's Cinelerra_rc (capital 'C'). And $HOME, not $home. (Linux command line does what you tell it to do, and doesn't try to be too clever - uppercase and lowercase matters!)

But try it with your file manager first.

Thanks very much worked like a charm after rebooting. I understand that I removed .bcast/ Cinelerra but don't really know how that cured the problem. Can you give a short explantion or a place to read on the subject.
                                             Thanks a lot, Doug
