I know but, I figure that baby steps is a better way to have one
understand things like this.  I figure that if I posted code that
required too much looking into to understand what it does, it would
defeat the purpose.  I normally expect the other person to take it
to the next level and I then assist if that is the case.

Given the nature of the question, I though it was a good idea to keep 
it simple every step of the way.
