thanks for this info Lee. I have a feeling I will be needing it somewhere
down the line as I always seem to have glash issues. I run Hardy
Heron...and currently can't run flash on this older system, but my Mom can.
If I run into some problems in the future I hope you or someone on list will
help me out.
thanks again..cheryl
