Hello Angel,

Previously, when I placed code into the message, I was reprimanded by
users for taking up message space and to use dpaste.  However, I agree
with you, the code is necessary for future reference.  Since, you also
seem to agree, I will henceforth place the code into the message.

Thanks,

May
