And I'm absolutely certain that appreciate that omeone finally *really*
understood what it was I am trying to achieve (see my reffed page)
That portion works like a charm - doing what I expect (want) it to. ((I'm
really leary of saying 'I want ...' because someone will have to respond
with 'Stop wanting that ...'))
I still see some inconsistencies - but this will let me get on my way with
reformatting the rest of the diary entries - which was the whole reason
behind this exercise.

That wasn't really a signature - it's just the way I close most of my
messages. As a TTY operator during *my* war, we normally signed our
messages with '//<initials>' and it just hangs over. ((So tell me it
shouldn't hang over .... :) ))
