I am getting smarter by the minute -- Dan, I get the same as you, thanks . I have only peaked once into that terminal before. It always reminds me of going down into one of those Luftschutzkellers ( bunkers) to take refuge from the bombs in WWII. It has that ominous look that you may be buried in it forever. Thanks also to Rex for that Apple website which told me to look for Java in the installed updates. I did not know the Java updates would show in those, too. What grand revelations! - thanks again.
