Its not a matter of 'cant be bothered' Nick, I just can never find anything I need to answer the question, it's been in terms I cannot follow or understand. I have found the simple answers given by some who have helped have gotten me to where I am. I would have given up in frustration long ago, had it not been for the very helpful suggestions made, including your own. I don't like to admit that I find it difficult - if not impossible - to follow verbal instructions, and only slightly easier to follow written instructions, especially when not every detail is included. I have 'broken' to many things along the way in my sixty years, to know to err on the side of caution and very much so. And, I still learn, with the patience of others, and when I 'fully' understand a subject, I am known to hand on the same information.
