OK, after reading your response and that of Rich S. , I can see that I 
did a piss-poor job of explaining what I was looking for. I think the 
path started in the Mozilla browser something like System > windows > 
preferences although that is obviously not the case now. The final menu 
had a *checkbox* labeled something like 'make list view the default for 
all files ' . Checking this made *all* menus in the file system default 
to list view. No more changing the view in each menu as I worked through 
them.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I found this feature referred to in 
someone's column or blog on the net, not in any of the Ubuntu help 
stuff. I've lost the reference and after going the System > Preferences 
and System > Admin menus numerous times I'm beginning to doubt if this 
feature exists anymore. Maybe dropped after 5.10.

If anyone has a clue about this I'd appreciate a response. Sorry for the 
confusion.
