Hi Rubywand,

    Thanks for your reply.  And thanks for welcoming me.  I've seen your
name a lot on the newsgroup, are you over it?  Just curious.
    To be honest yours and the one before yours are the only two I
understood.  I feel like a 2 year old.  I read Quantum_Cat and it all went
right over my head.  (I'm pretty dumb I know.)
    Anyway thanks for the information.  I really do appreciate it.
Rex
