Karl:

Thanks for correcting my spelling.  I'm not home yet however.  When I 
xsane, a window pops up and first says that it is "scanning for a 
device" . After about 15 sec. the light on the scanner is blinking and 
then  the window goes blank and the light on the scanner stops blinking 
and stays on.  The debug file indicates the device has been  openned and 
a line "Send buf, Size=2" is added to file.  I couldn't delete the 
window and I couldn't kill it as user or super user.  Logout/login got 
rid of the xsane process.   Have I experienced normal behavior or is 
there still something I am missing.  Thanks for your assistance.
