Will do, Dorothy. Thanks for the tip. I don’t know why I let this thing 
worry me so much., probably because I just can’t stand a thing not to do as 
a thing is supposed to do. That’s all. Blame it on the Bossa Nova. That's 
what I do.

Hi, Walt--
Did you try the second link where it (if you scroll down) talks about how to
make it work on 64 bit?  ....of course, I've tried none of this myself.
Sometime when I have time  8^0   maybe I can try it.

But if you haven't tried the second link...and you're still interested, give
it a whirl.
