Marsha & Ritchie, Thanks so much for the information. I am hoping that I can persuade Glenn of the benefits of joining the KNIBB mailing list. He left a message in the message book of my web page but unfortunately, I now find that the email he gave me ([email protected]) is being bounced so I'm unable to make contact again. The ms.com bit seems okay but ms.com doesn't recognise the "glkn" bit. I'm hoping he goes back to my web page again so I've placed a note on the index page for him to email me. I'll have a play with the email address, trying a few different combinations but I'm not optimistic. However, I'll keep you posted.
