Sybil,

There are options in the web creation pages for you to show RINs +
MRINs, AFNs and UserID (Internet>Create Web Pages>What). If, however
you have the number as a prefix or suffix you cannot strip them, so
they will always appear. Frankly I would never use this method of
attaching the numbers, unless I was using all the others. Actually I
use the UserID for that purpose and also the prefix and suffixes for
their proper purpose, so I would have to use the AFN - but I probably
would anyhow!

You can find out what the options are for by looking them up in the Help
Files, it is very good, you know!
