Hi Phil. Yes, that worked fine thank you. Incidentally, I was able to delete the message by pressing the DEL key, that was until I had to get my computer fixed and reinstall jaws. I obviously prefer the DEL option as it only required a single keystroke, but never mind, Control D from now on. Thanks again .
