Well, it worked OK, but it doesn't allow me to do anything I couldn't do 
over the USB connection before.  It's the file browser that's the real 
problem.  That, and my inability to get the terminal app.  I've got the 
source code for that, but can't work out how to use it.  It's in the 
form of 16 Python files.  I'll download the API and see if I can get 
that to work, and do the same with the file manager.  The code for that 
is in qml.  Seems a lot easier to understand.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,        Barry.
