Hi Rich, I followed your directions to a "T" HaHa. There was two of them \146="
And \147=" I tab and three options read out. ADD, Change and delete. So, under change, I could have enter and used the spacebar to change the " to silence. I don't want to change anything, anyhow if I did decide to make a change I would have to make two " changes and right nowI'll let the dog sleep... Also, it was educational to read all the definitions on the list. Thanks.
