Dumb Newbie

[Jwp]

Thanks for sticking with me on this one, what a wonderful group of folks I
have stumbled onto

Roger that did it!! Both messages have shown up in the appropriate
mailboxes!!! (now I am off to figure out how to get the thing to accept mail
for usr at b-dub.org)

Thanks for all the helpful responses, patience and seeing me through this
process.  I surely learned a lot and also have set myself up to learn a
whole lot more in the coming months.  And before to long I hope to be able
to contribute to this list as opposed to taking.


Slowly prying myself from the grasp of bill gates,
JP
