That's what I was thinking for a workaround.  But the list (as usual) helped
me figure out how to get the folder on the host system shared on the VM.
Slick.

I use VirtualBox and this procedure:

1. Copy the files in question to a USB thumb drive.
2. Start VirtualBox and on its Machines menu I select the USB item and point
to the thumb drive.
3. Occasionally VirtualBox does not "see" the thumb drive or thinks that
Windows still has a hold on it. If that happens, switch back to Windows and
safely eject the drive. Then switch to VirtualBox and re-insert the drive.
Then repeat step 2.

HTH,
Arthur
