OK - what responses do you have to the rest of my questions and 
observations. Please respond thoroughly.

When you the the error copy and paste it directly from the terminal window.

Also in the future place your responses immediately after the item you 
are responding to rather than "top-posting".

Thank you for sending to the list as well as me.

What did you enter? I will bet is was 'window'.\
