Thanks Rick and I have since read and understood from
his continous and frustrated post (even from the
initial one) that this is what he wishes to
accomplish. You being a veteran of newsgroups\mailing
list know its often hard to determine with any
frequency (what the actual intent is) and not apply a
band-aid answer. Error on the side of caution, etc.,
etc. It reminds me tremendously of another cousin OS.
