Thanks!  That works.  When you replied last month, I missed the 'dot' in front 
of NNNNNNNN, and only saw the visible file.  (that'll teach me not to use -a)  
There's been so many changes in kde this year, I figured incorrectly that 
they were doing something differently.  Anyway, I saw the msg again while 
cleaning up, and took another look, this time seeing the 'dot', and as a 
result, this time I also saw the folders.  Again, thanks...
