Alister, you are right, of course. The reality is that I discovered this trove of
a newsgroup and I am rather shamelessly taking advantage of it.
Rest assured that I cross check and learn what is associated with each
and every answer I get. So nothing is wasted. Hopefully your answers
are also useful to others who may find them at a later stage through foofle groups.

Also very important, I am very grateful for the support I am getting from you
and from others.
