Thanks Chris. I hate to seem more of an imbecile in such matters
than I am; and, perhaps, I should just have you work with Anders
to get this thing working, BUT there is AT LEAST one person out
here who would like to know the details of how you do this. Is
it asking too much for you to outline the procedure in steps a,b,c
and make that available to the list some way or another?

TIA - LOTS!
