	no joy.  I did another full upgrade.  first time in many
	months.  then spent a couple hours with portmaster (thank
	you, Roland:).  this as a first upgrade.  

	what I  want to do is get as current as possible and then 
	install 7.5.  and stay there.  another question involves 
	accepting the "3-D" windows with whatever options they might
	present.  is there any upgrade utility or flag that will
	accept and upgrade things without me having to be here?
