Erp. Well....

You are entirely correct. In my transition from Windows to Linux about a 
year ago, I found this whole CD mounting business a bit confusing. Then 
I figured out how to get it work and either learned an old-fashioned 
way, or the the OS moved to auto-mounting and I just didn't notice (the 
latter, I think).

The code runs on my OS as written, but it also runs if one comments out 
this line

system( "mount '" + cd_source + "'" )

and manually closes the CD and waits for the light to out.

Cool...My system (the one I run in my head) just got updated today.

You see how helpful this list is? Thanks MK.
