William,
Thanks for your note. I was beginning to think that I was the only one
concerned with this problem. Caljon's answer was that it could be remedied
by a work around, which in my case didn't work, and which -- even if it had
worked -- begged the question of whether this was a generally recognized
problem that needed programming work. I hope that Legacy staff is reading
this exchange and will get one of their "quick fixes" out to resolve it. I,
for one, really appreciate how quickly they have solved some previous
problems. I like the rate of updates that they have posted, contrary to
what some have said here!
Carl
