THANK you Aaron!! What a guardian angel. Just one minute before your post came in, I received an e-mail with an attachment from that individual as a response to my query (on a different list!!). I was about to open it but hesitated. Thank goodness I read your e-mail (the very next one) first. It seemed odd to send a response in an attachment , which is why I hesitated. I have no idea what the attachment had in it, as I have deleted the whole e-mail, but I shudder to think. Another lesson to me about needing to get antivirus software. Thank you SO much.
