Hi David,
Not now at the machine where my GiP history resides but I have meanwhile 
been confused further by the above reference to "Factual."  I have not 
seen any of my existing files which have been entered into a "Factual" 
subdirectory.  I only have the five directories Culture, History, 
Philosophy, Religion and Science.  Is there another category "Factual?"

I note the line Atom "©gen" contains: Factual.  Is this genre?  I wonder 
if when I rebuilt my system I didn't get the pvr instruction correct and 
if I ran it again this might do the sorting for me as the metadata will 
still be available.  Any ideas?
