I found my cards. Thank you for your help.

I was clicking "Open" rather than "Import," but I still cannot figure out 
why I was unable to find the cards (and still can't) searching from any 
finder box other than the one that pops up if I click "Import" when I have 
Mnemosyne open.

On my typical Finder window or if I click "Open" from Mnemosyne or any 
other program, if I click "Andrew's Mac" and then "Library" there is no 
"Mnemosyne"  folder and no "Mnemosyne1" folder. What's more, if I search 
for .mem files on my computer via Spotlight or the Finder search, it says I 
don't have any such files. Nor can it find the files if I search for text 
that I know to appear in the cards themselves.

If, however, I click "Import" with the program, I get what appears to be an 
identical finder box, but in this one, my "Library" folder has subfolders 
entitled both Mnemosyne and Mnemosyne1. I find that very confusing. Indeed, 
I find everything about how computers organize information internally 
confusing, but I found this particularly so.

I don't understand why there is no longer a program like Google desktop 
that easily and unerringly finds whatever you have ever seen on your 
computer, be it on the machine itself on online.

Anyway, thank you again. And I will make sure to back this up regularly, 
just in case I do not get so lucky next time.

Andrew
