That did the trick! Thanks so much. I could kick myself, I had seen the ntfsresize command when I was googling, but obviously hadn't tried it.

I did need to unmount the partition, run ntsfsresize, and then I rebooted. I've since uploaded some samples, and gotten them to run, so all is well! And my needs are pretty modest, so this old Pi may just manage! 

For reference, her is a cut/paste of how it went:

I then rebooted and all was as expected---the partition had been expanded. I probably could have just remounted... but a reboot is so quick that I tend to reboot, and remove one more opportunity for error.

Thanks so much for the help!
