What "apple ID/Password?" Is the basic one I use to set permissions on 
my computer? Or some other?

Yes, it would. See below...

Gee, I thought that was what *I* wrote!
However, I'm not trying to protect copyrights here!  <smile>

Without knowing any better, I selected my Hard Drive, and in Get Info 
tried to Index the entire thing. That was when I suspected something was 
wrong.

I've since talked to Randy Singer, co-author of the Macintosh Bible, and 
he pointed out to me how there are basically only a few items I really 
need to Index, not the entire hard drive.
When I cut down the task, Indexing took over just fine.
The Indexing feature in Jaguar works pretty automatically, so he told 
me, and I wasn't aware of that, either...
A lot of the stull (folders etc) I tried to index showed they had just 
been indexed yesterday or the day before!
I never knew that, either!

Anyhow, problem turned out to be no problem at all. All I needed was a 
little education. I had never taken any classes in Jaguar! Shame on me!  <g>

Thanks for the words...
