Hi Justin!
Wow! I can't think you enough!! I was confused by the bugs you pointed out,
since I didn't realize they are bugs.
I had been going through the XML files themselves and things made more
sense to me. I'll try this forst chance I get and let you know how I make
out.
Thanks again! This was really, really nic of you! I'll try to do it just as
you describe.
Jim
