For I'd really rather not be known as 1:124/6308 /and/ 1:124/8308 :) However, that may be the best way to do this. FWIW: Many, if not all, of the ideas agrued and passed around here have merit. The problem is going to be getting one of them into operation /without/ making a dozen new "standards" to follow. To do this, IMHO, will require the joint efforts of the *C structure and the FTSC. There's my $.02 .... Enjoy. :) Regards, Frank http://pages.sbcglobal.net/flv http://biseonline.com/r19 .... Who wrote this tagline? I don't like it. -+- PPoint 3.01 + Origin: Holy Cow! I'm A Point!!
