Thanks Lynn, a very good point made on the long Acknowledgement
message which I surly would not want sent out every time a message was
sent to me. It might be a good thing as you said when traveling on
the interstate and could not respond. It makes we wander if a
different reply message could be sent from profile 2 which could
become active above a certain speed. You got me thinking!!!
