They should extend out far enough to fall outside the plane of your own magnetic field. Try cutting them at the base of the hanger just before where it begins the twist to form the hook. Let me know if you try this again and if it works next time. Brenda ==== MARKHAM Mailing List ==== Markham Associated Web Page Check out Jack Perry's Home Page at http://Perry-family.org
