Thank you.
I just found that out deep in the gnome site. Of course I wasn't
looking for "Location Bar". Now to find out how to get the location bar
to be on the window at all times. Now where are those files?
I am glad I went to FC4 at work before doing it at home. My wife would
have killed me. At least I will have some experience.
