-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi List, Thanks for the reply.
The asterix's(*) were originally a html <b></b> to embolden the text to draw attention to the changes i made - - - i guess you received a non-html version which strips the html tags out and replaces them with, in this case, asterix's(*) So, sorry to be a pain again - the answer to number 1) is still needed. As for number 2, i have figured out was the trouble was - it was the way the web space was configured somehow. I know this becasue i have swapped the fast dl server to a friends and it works fine. But alas - number one is bugging the hell out of me - i want it to run want i want it to run - not what it wants to run! Please help - and enjoy your sunday.
