The Folder Template looks OK to me, but I really don't know what to look
for.

I used CHECKINI from WPTools, earlier and again tonight. It cleaned up
some garbage, mostly from an old boot drive, but the problem is still
there.

I can create an object (such as an invocation of e.exe to view the
Hobbes 00GLOBAL.TXT) in the Help Center folder, but if I try to create a
folder, I get two, one inside the other.

ISTR some method of displaying the properties of an object by DD onto a
program or REXX script, but I can't find it now. Does that ring a bell
with anyone?

Thanks!
