John helped me achieve what I wanted. His RE sample got me to the right place after tweaking it a little. I would like to understand why what I originally had did not work, so I can learn better. Will some one show me why my original RE did not work? Meaning it did not get the tags as explained above previously. -- Silverfox Please don't CC me.
