Wow, PMario, I had only seen the two shorter replies. I just realized now you had a much more substantial response. That looks like a lot of work. I will give it a try. Thank you very much.
I actually have been going sideways on this, to get it the way I would use it. It is quite different than HAL. I will share when I get it stable, and I will compare it with the macro you attached.
