Thank you for the tip.  Of course I tried and missed "==" because
"Useful commands:" described it as "for each session, show which files
are identical".  Since I was looking for different files, I tried "D"
instead ("show differences among directories").  However, "==" still
requires you to navigate through directories.  This is grunt work and
is no match for WinMerge's summary.
