I got back to my compute a little later than expected.  I am weary so will 
tackle this tomorrow.  Thanks for the tips and suggestions.  I will let you 
know how it goes.
I guess I do have one question first.  If I hit a snag while doing SFC how 
will I know which option to choose?  Will it be obvious or should I plan on 
canceling the scan and checking with you before proceeding.?
