Bingo. Thanks for this insight.

I did that already. As usual, I can never understand what they're
talking about.

Yes -- I got to it using the Select Obj button on the toolbar, which
appears to be the same as WPS->Selected Object Settings.

Aha! Drag and drop. Now why didn't I think of trying that?

Yes, I see your pattern recognizer is still in fine form. I abbreviated
the names in my original message, the tree is actually

PPWizard.src
+-PPWizard-20000223.src
+-PPWizard.1
+-PPWizard.2
+-PPWizard.d (the download directory)
+-PPWizard.e (the extract directory)

Hmm. I can drag the parent folder to the window and the window captures
it and then displays both the parent and the PPW.2 folder, but when I
select (highlight) the object and press the Delete option, I get

Object was not deleted
PPWizard-20000223.src\ppwizard.2
The Error returned is PMError=0/0
WPSErr=0

I always thought 0 was "no error".
