Oops, I misquoted myself (no pun intended). You are, of course, correct, gsec does not like quotes. Just tried it on my home computer.
The XP machine where I'm having a hard time is in an auto-repair shop, so I won't be able to try it tonight. Next time I get there I'll try it and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your attention to this.

When I try to run gsec I get something like "User name or password not defined, see your system admin", etc. or something like that. I don't know why it worked on your first install....
