Neil, Keep in mind, I didn't start this thread. I'm not the only one who read the news item and it not make good sense. I might add, I followed some of the discussion on -dev and even that didn't help the news item and I sort of had a general idea of what it was about. If I wasn't already somewhat aware of it, that news item wouldn't have been very little help. Dale :-) :-)
