Thanks,  I assume/expect (innocent that I am!) that a GUI would give me 
a GUI indication - even if it was only a redirect of STDERR ; after all, 
it starts off its "looking at the drive" window & then vanishes.  I 
would hope (NOT being a designer/programmer) that it would come back to 
the top window, showing the available drives, so that I had the choice 
of continuing with it.

Thanks to you both for your clarifications, I'll see what I can do next!

Dave
