Oh jeez, sorry... I mentioned there would be no quoting... it's html that
screws things up. I was responding to someone named Transpower (RWS)
message, not yours. Sorry, for the confusion. I did not see your message
until just now, or I would not have even sent up my first reply. It seems
yours predates mine in time... but it was not in my box when I answered
these questions. (I hate when that happens...)

John

P.S. - Hey Jeff, we have never seen you in The FP Room... (or have you been
there during times when I haven't been...) If not, drop by, you'll like it.

The FP Room is www.tinyurl.com/yuag7
