Larry:

Thanks for the reply. Good to get confirm that it is loopback and the 
"internet access" is nthing to worry about. I'll investigate 
cygwin-xfree for the other questions.

Scanned problems.html ... given how far below the bar I was, your 
"suggestion" was very gentle. It is now bookmarked so I can do better 
next time.
