I did not have a menu bar, so I did not see any way to select View. The
solution was simple (provided by Oscar), and I should have discovered it
myself -- that is, I needed to right-click on white space. Once I enable
the menu bar, I should be able to select View as I do in other folders.

Thanks,
MaryL
