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 .  Andy
