Allan, now you have me going. This is fine to know. But let's say i do want
to know all the junk I have written and all the wisdom I have received
within the last few years, where is all this stored and where can I find it,
reread it, save it or  delete it totally , if not through the  identity
folder? It must be somewhere on the disk . Marta
