I made the mistake of thinking.:} That since a German Email friend could read English he could also send E mail in English. Not so. He explained he could write some english but could not get through his exact meaning. He did send some mail in English and at that time I realized what he meant. So, the on line translators must have a similar problem with the umlats and so on. I run it through a couple different translators and then take a guess. Carl
