Thanks to everyone who responded to my call of distress. I am using DeLux Legacy. Moving Legacy and its data have proven to be a major undertaking. The JPG files move smoothly ... Legacy finds all PDFs in an album once it is shown at least the location for one.
Not so for the RTFs or PDFs. The PDFs normally open Adobe Reader and the RTFs open my word processor, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am resigned to having to find and open each file separately. But thanks for your comments.
