My nurse and I went shopping at one of those 100 acre grocery store
and everything else stores Wednesday afternoon.

The 3 battery powered shopping carts that were available when I got
there, were inoperable. So, I had to hobble around with my cane.

When I got home, I went to sleep for 12 hours. Then I was up for 12
hours paying bills and not feeling mentally awake. Then I went to bed for
another 12 hours.

Hopefully I am now capable of some intelligent thought.

Ok, I think we are successfully past this point.

I probably need a little further enlightenment on this
switch.

While I have the syntax correct, there is already a file by the name
I am using in the source material.

Can I successfully bet that this is causing a problem?

Maybe the " catalog " file switch is causing the problem I am
"fixing" by using M:/* instead of M:/.
