Bernard,
Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply. I appreciate the terminal commands and that method of operating and modifying its performance, but I'm so busy with other work that I almost never get to play with the Terminal, but I like what I see. Everything you suggested seemed to work smoothly and it may be all fixed. I did get most of the problems solved and new software was downloaded successfully and quickly. I haven't had the invitation to upgrade to 22.04 from 20.04 yet, so that will be the final proof.

If you have a way to request this upgrade, I would appreciate seeing it. One of my computers has it, but this one doesn't. I like to keeep them in sync

Best regards
Dave

for now we'll say as below
