Thank you all for your responses to my rice wrapper inquiry.
I apologize for the lateness of this summary, just been so busy.

I have not yet located any made strictly out of rice flour, but I did
find a few non-GF brands at my local asian market, so at least now I
know what they look like and that I'll find them in the non-refrigerated
section.  I'm sure I'll locate some GF ones at some other asian market,
just haven't had the time yet.  Just for everyone's info...the ones I
found had ingredients of:
   1st brand:  Wheat flour & tapioca flour, water, salt; and
   2nd brand: Flour, water, salt.
I was debating buying the second one, thinking maybe the "flour"
was rice flour, but decided not to risk it and to just continue my
search until I find one that lists "rice flour and/or tapioca flour"
only.

Here is the summary of what the other listmembers wrote:

1.  One person uses Ivory Brand Rice Paper.  Company: Nana Marketing Co.
Ltd, Bangkok, Thailand.  Phone: 424-0675, 433-6311-2; Fax 66-224-0992,
66-2-433-6309; available in two sizes, large (size of dinner plate), and
smaller (size of salad plate).

2.  Packaged in clear cellophane, are dry, and not refrigerated with the
wonton skins.  They're also known as "rice paper","spring roll rice
wrappers", "galettes de riz", or "banh trangh". They need to be stored
in airtight plastic bags or the edges will very quickly curl from
moisture.  They come in 6", 8" and 12" rounds.  Used in Vietnamese
cooking.

3.  Someone asked how to use them.  I wanted to use them as "mu-shu"
wrappers (a chinese "burrito" type of dish which normally uses a wheat
flour wrapper which looks like a small flour tortilla).  Don't know how
well this would work...anyone out there had success using them?  If so,
how?

That's about the extent of all the comments.
Thanks again for all you who contributed.
