It was the default action before with the right-click. I don't care
about double-click. I just looked on my XP, and that's the way it's done
on 2.5.2 there. I have no idea how this got onto double-click. Let's
not worry about it in any case.
We can quibble some more, but I'm done with this effort. See my next
post to Alan in a minute or two. Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
