I guess I'm not used to a "Ticker", they make me virtually
nervous.

Thanks for the info on this one, it would be nice to right click
and see all the commands somewhere.

Thanks again for this one.......

This had something to do with not being able to send a from
address through the DSL account because it was checking or
something, I'll have to go back and look at that again too.

Most spell checkers do catch that. A thesaurus would be nice too
since this group doesn't seem to have had anything to do with the
atrocious US educational system. Ask a person on the street what
one is and I'll bet a number would say it had something to do
with an extinct animal!

Why, Thank You Sir, You are a virtual Plethora of information! I
was hoping upon writing this dissertation that I wouldn't get sent
to my cloister and be told to flog myself about the head and
shoulders 50 times with a cat of 9 tails for not perusing the menu items!
I will say the TB users are some of the most tenacious users and
defenders of their software I have come across.
