Well, Bill, I fanally got it to work.  I used the options

noauto,user,exec,rw,nosuid

I don't know if any are redundant.  For exampld, the man page indicates 
that the user option defaults to nosuid (meaning I shouldn't have to 
add it), but I found that adding it made a difference.  

With these options, I get icons on the kde user desktop for each of 
these windows partiton mount points, just like the cdrom, zip and 
floppy drives.  The user has to mount them, which is kind of easy and 
intuitive, but once done, has read and write access.  Before inserting 
noauto, the partitions were already mounted, but only root could write. 
 Give it a try if you are still interested. (Wow! I can't believe I 
finally -=answered=- someones question on this list.  I guess I finally 
am learning linux.)
