Thanks Helge,
That brings up my next question, which is a question of style that I'm
throwing out to all of you. What is the best way to refer to a second level
entry:
Troubleshooter's Mantra see attitude/Troubleshooter's Mantra
Troubleshooter's Mantra see attitude->Troubleshooter's Mantra
Troubleshooter's Mantra see attitude::Troubleshooter's Mantra
or something else?
Thanks
