Hi Rudi (Clarke), Your best place to start is almost always at <http://www.pcwebopedia.com/> to search for a term and, in this particular instance, to go direct to <http://www.pcwebopedia.com/TERM/C/CUA.html>. Then if all else fails, as it so often does in the Microsloth world, go to <http://www.woodyswatch.com/> for information and advice. As an absolute last resort, you might even look at Microsloth's own Web site. I'm sure that you can guess the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for that one.
