OK, excuse my "MS Windows mind-set" here. Programs, OO, gEdit, Firefox etc can "Show hidden files" and it's available to all programs - except Natalus and Thunar "closing - MS Windows mind-set"
Still doesn't seem logical to me, but it's Linux, I'll get use to it. :) I'm really new to Linux. Could it be a bug with the "file manager" type programs? After all, they to have the ability to Show/Don't show hidden files as well, but are not affected by what other programs do. Thanks for your response. Have a nice day.
