Never mind - I fixed it. The company has a discussion forum for product users
(I like that) and someone there posted that you can "update" the driver from
the default MTP to a USB storage device.
That did the trick - now I can see it like a drive. I think I'll have problems
with copyrighted materials but I'll worry about that if/when I have to.
