thanks toadling - definitely food for thought. Will get back after I've let your idea settle :-)

first questions that come up:

1. is my Finder system as easily understood by other, nontechnical family members in the event that I am no longer in the pilot's seat for whatever reason?

2. using Finder, how would you advise storing the random examples I gave ( above) in my reply to curt?
