Brian your response was much appreciated. I am still having a problem with my Pi. I got it working at home but then I took it to the office and plugged it in but I thought I would be able to change the wifi from the terminal connection. No joy. I guess I need to change the wpa supplicant file at home. When I got to the office, the M100 can log into the Pi but I get a bash error with every command, even something simple like "ls".
