Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Question Concerning Folders

Content Type: text/plain

I did get an answer on comp.os.os2.misc, after all.

The solution was quite simple. I just opened Drives, then drive F:,
then made a shadow copy of the "COBOL Projects" folder on the desktop.

I guess it was TOO simple for me to figure out on my own!
