I second your reply. I mostly just lurk on this list because I don't know enough to ask a ?. But I also find it very difficult to search archives. I did it last week and the first 5 times the robot returned zero answers. I had to keep rewording the search to get anything. I finally got some replys but they never came up with the letter I was looking for. I know it is there someplace because I saw it a few months ago and at the time I was not that interested in the subject and did not save it. It has been very frustrating for me to search the archives on several occasions. Sam
