OK, the 'weird' problem experienced has gotten more off the rails. So I now have 2 new conditions to report.
Firstly, after booting the AIO where the beta 17 file was copied and booted from. That beta 17 was booted via SG2D adding a PSAVE parm pointing to the /Sessions folder on the HDD's partition. beta17 found the past QP64 sessions in the folder and listed them for selection at boot. I opted for a pristine boot. As reported,, beta17 booted and I used it for various tests and tasks which I reported earlier. Upon shutdown, I had the system save the session into the /Sessions folder. Its name of the status screen was correct; ie /Sessions/QPsave...

BUT, instead of creating a new folder, the shutdown processor placed all of the sessions folders in the root of the /Sessions folder rather than in the QPsave it was suppose to create. Weird, again.
Next, in testing, I have now found that the beta17 ISO file on the USB is now booting to desktop with no other changes excepting that beta18 was downloaded to the /boot-isos folder on the SG2D USB??? Now, I am really scratching my head.
This is a mere status as I continue to try to nail down WHY this anomaly is occurring on this AIO, my newest PC (circa 2016).
Next up, I will switch to testing beta 18 starting as a pristing with no PSAVE parm and advancing thru the steps.
P.S. Found this in one of the misplaced files

This shows what was given to INIT at boot. BUt the folder shown above indicates that it DID NOT store the session in a QPsave folder as it should have.
