Thanks Julie. Yes all the files are in my shared folder, the one that shows as a folder icon next to the Library window.

I don't know what 'hash' means but I am aware that LimeWire takes for ever to do just about _anything_!! (It must have been written by a Microsoft developer!). So I wait for the filenames to show up, but there's never any more than about 17 listed out of the 20-odd files in the folder.
