I've got to thank all the GREAT people that has answered my request for 
help.  It is GREAT to be involved in an activity that agglutinates a 
community like this. 

I will probably not be able to help back the people that has helped me, but 
I will sure help forward people that, as me, gets stranded somewhere. 

THANKS!!!
