Rick, Thanks for the attention to my questions. I'm sorry if they came out as gripes, in the future I shall try to present them as "insights". I tried filge with the help option as you suggested, and I'm ashamed to say that it looks quite familiar. I believe it may have been maybe 6 or 7 years, at least, since I had last used it and had pretty much forgetten about it. I'm afraid I took out my aggravation on the first available resource. The faceless editor. Once again, thanks for assistance. Steven

No problem at all, Steve. In fact, in rereading my reply to you I saw where I could have been misread as being particularly snooty in my attitude; please believe that this was NOT intentional. It's often hard to tell what a person's really thinking by the written word, since there is no inflection to support it. I always assume "everything's okay" unless it looks obviously otherwise… and then I usually ask. You didn't come off as anything other than someone who was confused and maybe a bit frustrated… which is quite understandable. I CERTAINLY didn't take it personally, and I doubt the editor minded. 😉 Besides, we wouldn't have caught the bug in the announcement without your help! Thanks for the, er, "insight". 8) Rick
