alright, am starting to follow you now, but I'll want to re-read the series
of posts over again when I have gotten some sleep and some coffee, since
its, for me, very early in the mourning my time, and I started this "day" at
around 9 AM yesterday, smile
I'll read it through and see if I have anything that can assist you in one
way or another, if first run through my e mails in the mourning do not show
me that you have gotten a good working answer.
take care,
the elf
