Thank you.

I just found that out deep in the gnome site.  Of course I wasn't 
looking for "Location Bar".  Now to find out how to get the location bar 
to be on the window at all times.  Now where are those files?

I am glad I went to FC4 at work before doing it at home.  My wife would 
have killed me.  At least I will have some experience.
