Ray; Thanks for the reply. I understand very well, your remarks -- and, in fact, agree with them. I think my aversion to chaotic terminology stems from my study of BNF and the joy of reading RFCs. I'll send in suggestions if I find actual errors or really confusing explanations of concepts. Thanks again.
