Thanks to everyone for your help. Generally speaking, my transition to 
Windows 7 has been a smooth one, but there are a couple of things that 
throw me. The business of where/how to find files and folders is one 
example. Most of the time, I don't have a problem with this, but every 
once in a while, something goes wrong, so your suggestions were all very 
welcome. What I finally did to resolve my problem was this:

I created a folder in My Documents. Someone pointed out that I needed to 
press enter on Save. This was useful information. I don't always get a 
Save option when creating new folders, so that's one of the Windows 7 
mysteries I'll add to my list. After the folder was created, I made sure 
I was able to find it.

Then I pressed the Start key, typed the name of the files I needed, and 
used ctrl+x to move them from the list of results to the new folder I 
created.

A few hours later, while using the Humanware Companion to transfer files 
to the Victor Stream, I found the original folder I'd created. It 
happened while I was browsing to the place from which I wanted to get 
some text files. The folder was empty, so I really did move the files 
with the ctrl+x command, and when I finished working with the Humanware 
Companion, I used explorer to find and delete the original folder.

Thanks again.
