I will certainly try that but there is a problem in the fact that I do not 
always know the name.  I think I read there is a tool that will search for 
the networks but cannot remember where I read that or what the name of said 
tool is.  (That is how long ago it has been since I had wireless 
working --about a year, actually.)  Meanwhile, I shall put in 'ANY' and see 
if that works.

Thanks...
