[Testing] Thanks All! RE: [support-gang] [IAEP] Problems Saving in Scratch

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All,
I tried Brian's simple solution and it works.  You retrieve the file by clicking "Open" and more or less reversing the save process.  I will further explore all the other stuff you folks sent, but tonight we are busy packing lunches and charging cameras, etc to get ready for 5-hour Ranger-led hike with the Grandkids in Yellowstone Park tomorrow morning. 
Thanks to all of you for your kind responses and for taking time on this holiday weekend to answer my question.  I really appreciate it.
Caryl
