What I was offering to do in the original reply was to go one-on-one with someone who could work with me real time, possibly with a login into this computer to do a "stare and compare". That could be done in a discussion list, I suppose. I could post pages of printouts of various directories here but I do not think that is appropriate. Others, of course, have other opinions. Something about many minds studying the problem at the same time, gestalt consciousness and all that. Maybe so, but I still don't think it's right to junk up a list. I also do not like the lag involved in troubleshooting via email. If it's the only thing available, so be it, but I don't like it. No, fixing the problem off list and then posting a detailed report to the list to inform whomever might be interested is the way to go, My opinion, of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
