Hi STEVE!
You're brilliant!!! Your reply jogged my brain a little and I considered file associations - went and sure enough - jar had been assigned to WinRar!!! Thanks so much for your speedy reply - you and Paul absolutely ROCK!
I will be back to these forums periodically - and may give Java programming a try - I found some how to's on web - probably have more questions later but this one is SOLVED!!! There were a couple replies beneath yours but I wasn't sure if they were aimed at me or not? Thanks to all!
