When I fat-finger a user ID or password, it's because I hit a key next to the one I meant to strike. In most cases that will be just another letter or number. Your edits won't help my foibles. This kind of sounds like a solution looking for a problem. I think I'd leave it alone too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
