David, Yes, I understood that part, and I never use more than one period myself, but I'm a betatester and if I see a problem I try to reproduce that problem so Legacy staff get enough information so they can enter a report in Mantis (bug tracker). That's why I wrote some emails ago that it was best to close this discussion because Brian had enough information to enter (or not) a report in Mantis. For me it's end of discussion now. Evert
