Kris, mighty Kris. What would this group be like without great people 
like yourself. Thanks so much. I will follow these links. I do have a 
windows machine here, that I've been slowly retiring as I compute on mac 
daily. This is just one of the hiccups that you've greatly helped me 
with. I will report back. Meanwhile, thanks so much. OK, let me get on 
my knees now and do some dirty work.
Thanks a lot Kris!
