Hey Roselle, Thanks for posting about that. Yes, I know all the stuff about the directories you've written, and I have no idea why I haven't posted it in instructions before, and I should have. Also, with the deletion of the temporary files, that's exactly what I do. Again, thanks for the post. Maria
