Welcome Gordon: Hope you have as much fun as I have. I am one of the "new kids" on the block, and don't know what I would do without Marti and my cousin in WA. I am not only a "new kid", but an illiterate one when it comes to .HTML. This has been a most interesting challenge for me. Good Luck, and pleased you have joined us. I think you will find this is a Great Group of people.!!!
