Yes, I know I should have taken notes of exactly what I did at the time, but if I did I can't remember where I saved them.... And I have saved several APMs, but no idea what they are supposed to do, in most cases. So it looks like I must go to a bare-bones 1.90 if I want to upgrade, then work up slowly from there. . ,-./\ from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia . / \ "Queen City of The South" 34:55 S 138:36 E . \_,-*_/ . v homepage http://users.tpg.com.au/gmone/index.htm Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Premier GPL Web Browser/Suite for DOS --
