Ooops! Please ignore that last message of mine -- it won't make any sense
at all. I was also dealing with issues on how to copy files for Eudora, and
that message referred to how they were copied. That said, there was one
common theme to the two. That is, in each case (Eudora and Quicken), I
simply accepted the default. As a result, my data files were mixed with
program files in each case. Quicken and Eudora are both working correctly
now (Eudora via the method I mistakenly posted here and Quicken by using the
simply "restore" method that someone described in an earlier message in this
thread).
My apologies...and also my thanks for the help.
