David,

As I suspected, I needed to reboot to see the Games category and the
Pysol icon in the menu.  For whatever reason, at the same time I
insrtalled a minesweeper type of program which appeared in the menu
without a reboot.   Go Figure.  Anyway, FreeCell is one of the games
that it plays.

Also, when I first fired Mint up, the Numlock was off, and I was afraid
that I was going to have to fight the Numlock windmill, but lo and
behold, it remembers that I had turned it on through the reboot!  I
always thought computers should work that way, because the keyboards
with separate number pads work better that way, but I am sure some users
prefer to have it off.
