Do you care to elucidate where the word ---may--- appears in your original note, there, Mr. Wobbler? The word 'may' is small enough for my keen sense of continuity, however I do believe it may have slipped your engineers' prowess. After all, if engineers were expected to be wordsmiths then we would all understand the instructions and fucntions of Windows... But I digress... Please explain, Dan... :-P - - -
