That is a real help, Ronni. Terminal is interminable for non-regular Terminal users! But why hide the Library in the first place? No one in their right mind is going to seriously monkey with it and I am sure it will require at least an administrator password like the Applications folder to pull anything out of it. Maybe I am living in an older world dream but I find all this security stuff a real pain - like the rigmarole to make the IOS7.0.3 update tick after installing it earlier today. What has happened to the limit on mail retained in IOS7 Mail? Used to be 50 but I currently have 318 showing for two users and counting! Can not find where to change it. Enjoy this glorious, sunny, late spring day everyone, soon out tongues will be hanging out when summer finally bites. Severin Crisp
