This comment isn't directed at anybody in particular...... While there certainly are those that do not appear to do their homework before asking a question on this forum, please don't assume that everybody is trying to take the easy way out when asking a question. Some folks just naturally pick up on things faster than others do. To the nonprogrammer, the manual can appear a bit confusing and/or overwhelming. What's easy for some is not necessarily easy for all. This forum is a resource that should be available to anybody with a question, without fear of being belittled for doing so. If a question appears "to easy" for a response, than igonore it If someone is willing to help out, and there are many of those folks on this forum (a big thanks to all of you), than they'll take care of it. I realize it may clutter up the forum, but the bottom line is unless you have a way of weeding out the phonies from those with legitimate request for help, than you have to take the good with the bad. It never hurts to help somebody.

Come on, this IS clearly described in the manual, and is something one should not have to ask here IFF you read the manual. And for all clarity: I was also a non-programmer newcomer once. But at least I spend time going through the manual to get the basics, something a growing number of newbies don't seem to bother with. Again: compliments to all experts out there who are more tolerant than I am.
