I am still here but was unable to reply sooner because of other pressing 
matters.   I will try to see If I can change the default boot order in 
the BIOS first.  If that fails, I'll try to boot into the Linux 
partition and changing grub there.  Still, the installation program 
should have chosen the correct place to put the grub boot loader.  In 
the past, it did.

PS.  One should not make snap judgments on my competence I am just not 
as experienced with Linux as I am in other areas of CS.  (Do you care to 
ask me questions about program verification, software testing and 
debugging?  Ask away!  I just need a sounding board from more 
experienced Linux users before trying something that might be time 
consuming.
