Thanks Sean,
That works great actually. I found the same answers right after I sent my
message by going through some of the old messages that were posted to the
list.
Usually, when I read messages posted on this list, I think to myself, "Why
do people keep asking the same questions all time. Why don't they just read
the old messages?" This time I'm guilty of this myself, especially since the
answers were found in messages that were only a few days old.
Tetsuo.
