HA! :-) I've had a number of users over the years who have no clue
where there documents are saved. And why? Because they never do "FILE,
OPEN". No, all they do is choose the name from the Most Recently Used
list of documents. Or they say it's on drive "N:" (these are Windows
users) .. and they don't realize  (mount) their "drive N:" is not the
same place where someone else does.
