It's bollixed. (But I *seem* to be out of my "Hall of Mirrors".)

I think maybe I've "got the scent" now. Got an idea I'm using the wrong host system for the set of --TARGETs I'm using & used in the past. Yes, I do have an old 586 system on this i7! I think I should fix the targets. Thanks! Sometimes it helps to have someone to talk one out of confusion. TTYL.
