Thanks to the rest of your advice, I at last can use the card reader the way it was designed. Better yet, the mount point labeled "flash" (for that's the name I gave it) appears in the folder labeled "Computer" on the FC2 desktop. Anyone should be able to mount the card reader easily--and if you try to mount an unattached device, nothing worse happens than your getting an error message suggesting the most common situation--"no media." So I'll just explore a few other possibilities to make my client application more attractive--like an option to issue an explicit mount command from the application itself. This is just the sort of practical advice I was looking for. Thanks again. Temlakos
