Hi Nick, Thanks for your prompt reply.
I also need to get /, but lucky I am, I don't need : yet. The question is, what if I need to get : later? I will try the option with the you sent. For now it might be all good for me. Regarding the picture I attached, I tried with the black on white and white on black. But based on your reply I will keep the black on white. Thanks again!
