Well, that does work, but it's not really a great fix for us. It pretty much assumes and/or forces everyone to use less as their PAGER but we most likely have some folks who want to use something different. We lack any real authority because we're told to please everyone which is definitely difficult if not impossible. Anyhow, thanks. > > Ralf S.
