Hello Jochem,

I apologize too. Here I am, the moderator and owner of five other
lists harping on my users to not reply too quickly, and here I go and
do it.

Isn't that one of the moderator credos though? "Do as I say, not as I
do?" :-)

I agree that handing someone the silver platter every time they ask
isn't the right way to do it, but I don't mind sharing what I've
learned either.

True 'nuff.

I can agree with that. I'll fix mine.

Do you reckon you can handle two "I think"'s is a 24 hour period?
<grin>

I think you can do this in IE too, but it's more difficult. When I
used to use IE way back when, I think I set up google as my search
engine instead of MSN and did something like that.

It coulda all been a dream too... :-)

I wasn't quite sure either but thought I'd give it a shot.

At any rate, getting OT.

Talk at you later. It's time to go home and play with the baby's mama.
