Thanks Daniel! I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger... but there
is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is NOT an oncoming train!
I did a search in the KB for Kill List and all the info that came back
described the rules.ima file. I eventually figured out the difference after
blowing the dust off the manual :)
And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

Rules.ima,
