First a couple of points about protocol on this list. Please don't top post. Insert your reply into the previous message at appropriate points. Also please post in plain text not html. Thanks. You type it and hit enter. That is after logging in as I explained previously. Now you can see the benefit of inserting replies. If you had done that my previous post explaining what to do would have been just above this so you could easily find it. Now you are going to have to scroll down looking for my previous reply.
