        Tony, I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to have a look
at the manual and give so much excellent advice again, I will try and figure
it all out along those lines you mentioned. I've got to add that I have
never known someone so actively helpful in all my years of online computing.
Again many many thanks for taking the time to help.
