Brian, Thanks for the patch but I've been working on this too and, so far, I think it is possible to have a very minimal way of dealing with this problem. I haven't had time to delve into it too deeply but I have been exploring this problem on and off for a couple of weeks. If the situation at work calms down a little I may be able to finish up what I've been working on. OTOH, if what I have is really not working then I'll take a look at what you've done. Again, thanks for the patch. I probably should have sent a heads up that I was working on this. cgf
