This is probably where this belongs in any case. Great! Like I said, even though only a small percentage of users RTFM, it's still more than worth-while to provide FM and, if nothing else, it does save on answering the same question over and over if you can at least point new users somewhere. Documentation is a somewhat paradoxical thing: If you have it, people won't read it without additional encouragement (usually with the pointy end of something sharp) but if you don't have it, they will flame you to toast for not having TFM for them to !R. :-) Jordan
