John:

You are correct.

I was able to get into a notepad document via the "run" command, but I'm 
having trouble finding the program in the programs list, so that I can 
create a shortcut for it when I want to use it.

I'm getting there, but still need help with this last step.

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
