Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, neither \ nor / is allowed by 
the Ubuntu 5.10 User Admin program.  I always get the attached error.

BTW, I created this jpg file with a screen capture from Gimp and moved 
it from the Linux box to the Windows box via File Browser and my network.

Thanks for your time.
