Have you tried to read the help available from the bottom-left button?

thank you for your reply. yes. i had read the help. sometimes, for me at 
least,
i find i often have more questions at that point. thank you for your 
patience,
and your suggestions. i could certainly help by hiring myself out to field
test documentation! :c) not sure if my uncertainty merits a bug report, 
exactly.

that makes sense. i certainly don't mind applying the changes, as a rule,
especially if they add value to an already valuable distribution. my newbie
uncertainty tends to make it harder for me to accept things just working
out. i don't have the experience, despite several years in ms-land, to hang
a calmer attitude on. i've been favourably impressed with ubuntu though.
