O.K., but I'm certain I recall it not letting me do a
few things like that in the past, with an earlier
version.

I think I have acknowledged major program improvements
in earlier posts, including ease of use.
Nevertheless, this is not across the board. I still
use 6.17 for cloning partitions and whole drives,
because -- IMHO -- I think the menus were actually
clearer and more straightforward for those functions
then. I get confused in the menus for those things
with the 7.x releases, due to some descriptive
changes, and am wary of making a mistake because of my
confusion. I intend to mention this in the DFSEE
forum.

One should never feel responsible for someone who
joins a thread late, and doesn't bother to trace it
back. I've been using the program since at least
early 4.x.

Agreed.

That's a rather loaded reference, and I think it's way
out of proportion to what I said.
