Believe me, it is not taught at school. Thomas, I can't figure out how to abridge your fine comment any further in order to reply to it. Just wanted to say, that in my case, your explanation of threading to a blundering newbie--as well as those of Marck and Peter Meyns and any number of other helpful people on what IMHO is one of the greatest lists I've yet encountered--was a godsend several weeks ago.

Some of us know that you are among those paying by the minute for your downloads, Thomas. And who can doubt your friendliness? -- Mary -- Best regards, Mary ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
