I downloaded and installed.  They have a pretty tight, clean 
installation that is easy to understand.  Pretty isn't mandatory but it 
never hurts.  It also can run as a standalone Japanese OS inside the 
box, which makes it a good choice for this need.

The problems didn't occur until I actually tried to run the virtual 
window and got a report that the driver is not accessible.  According to 
the VirtualBox FAQ that is something that is not unusual.  It says 
permissions for vmbox have to be set in the "groups" list.  Will do that 
today ... as soon as I find the help file that tells me whether I have 
to add a -g or -G to every item already in that list or just to the new 
addition.

But, if this could run on another desktop, it would be a most excellent 
solution.  Thanks.
