Thanks to all for the responses to our question. I was really impressed
by the quality of the responses and the spirit of helpfulness. Bob

And from my daughter -
I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on the list, that
posted help aids to my DaD's request with regard to locating the
"missing" files that were causing a logjam on my G4.
Your notes allowed /us/ to discover that not only had the files been
copied to the new Lacie Drive, but also somehow re-copied into a folder
with the same "Lacie" name. Once found, I was able to test that the
files were on the Lacie Drive by disconnecting the drive, and opening
the file under the same name, that was on the hard drive, and deleting a
couple of those files. Having then determined that these were the
problematic ones, I reinstalled the Lacie Drive and then deleted most of
the problematic ones on the Hard Drive, recovering the much needed drive
space. Obviously this was probably staring me right in the face, but
without the view from the outside which you all offered, I may have
struggled with this for several days before discovering the issue. I
kind of feel a bit "duh..."
Again, Thank You for everything! You all were great.
I remain,
