Should have considered this myself, but it is difficult with the back pain and drugs I'm taking today. (That's why I'm home at this odd hour) Vicodin,Flexaril and lower back pain are not conducive to clearheaded thinking.<G> xponent Not Far From The Couch Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
