If I had not felt it necessary to thank Miguel on-list, I could have stayed out of trouble! :) But I had just acknowledged Jonathan on TBOT and thought it was only right to reply to Miguel, who was writing to me on TBUDL.

As usual, I have managed to misunderstand the English language, my native tongue. :) I thought you were modifying something you did not actually quite agree with. All the same, I have made your busy list and your work much longer tonight, and I am sorry for it. And I still wonder if we shouldn't have a list geared more toward people like me. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
