Sorry about the first post having html sticking out all over. As you could see I am still trapped in windows for the present. I was just looking at the archive for August when I noticed your post and decided to say Thanks. I am researching the problems I am having. If I can't find the answer or nothing applies, then I scream for help. Surely, most of the possible problems have already been found and work arounds and solutions found so I will earnestly try my darnedest. I see you are from Waltham, I am in Georgia, but was born in Holyoke. More years ago than I care to admit. See ya on the list. Best Regards, B.J. Quisnam vigilo custodis?
