Paul: Thanks for the feedback and I'm sure we can get something together so the engine works better. Let me chew on this for a while. This weekend is not a good one for me for working on software issues, though ... :-) Jon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
