Thanks.  I actually believed there was no way to open hidden files with 
such selectors and, for that reason, have a folder called "Unhide" which 
contains unhidden symlinks to certain hidden folders.

Getting information in Linux can be like getting blood out of a stone.  
I discovered from this list a day or so ago that I may be able to use 
Orage as an alarm reminder - which means one less Kde app I need to 
use.  I've been trying to find a replacement for that application for 
about 20 months.  Googling and Yahooing and posting on Linux forums 
produced nothing. :-\
