Dear Billy,

I have gotten kind of goosey when it comes to using the konsole and outside 
sources.  Hopefully I do it mostly right now, but each time I see evidence of 
having to use the command line, I get nervous a bit.

The Ubuntu site for installation of Wine is really great.  I just panicked a 
bit when I came to an entry that was labeled Code: rather that the address to 
get something.  Without considering the matter any closer, I was mentally in 
the state to nervously use the konsole again.

I took a break and went outside, chatted with a neighbor for a bit, and 
returned to the computer.  When I recognized the ridiculous way I had been 
thinking, I went to the site using the browser, and fixed the problem 
immediately.  It was my foolishness again.  The guy or gal who did the work 
did a great job making it easy.  Thanks for the help.

Steven
