From my keyboard:
Hello Joe,
That does help. It's the answer. Thank you very much for taking the
time to supply it. Very much appreciated. Have removed the word. Wow.
No fictitious words in that email. :-)
For some reason I seldom think to to look in .config for various things,
unless prompted to do so. A mental block, something to do with age,
though I don't wish that to sound like an excuse.
Thanks again,
Charlie
