LOL - you are quick! I just googled using adb apk pull android (thanks to your advice) and got this on mauweb

Using ES File Manager
Open ES File Manager
Click on the menu button of your device
Click on "Manager"
Click on "App Manager"
Long press on app you want to extract
Click on "backup"
Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card

I'm using es file app and it is very easy - thanks so much for your help. I'm new to all the fancy android stuff until this week and helpful people on ppcgeeks have brought me up to speed very quickly!
