Rhonda; What is the difference between your list and the one I was sending out that Rachelle (I know I have her name wrong), put together. Are yours additions. I started reading yours and there are many I had never seen. Some commands have 2 ways to do them, are these the second method. Terry Powers By the way, I sent copies to the 3 people who asked for copies.
