Unfortunatly, I wasn't blessed with a great "technical mind". But I've been faithfully reading posts daily and working on things so long that I manage to pick things up through osmoses. Somehow I manage to get things to work. Heck.. I'm even starting to understand man pages... hehe In "Groundhog's day", the charactor was waking up to the same day over and over. He impressed the woman of his desires with how much he knew about every detail of everything around him. She suggested that he must be a god. He replied... "I don't think God is a genious. I just think he's been around so long that he knows a lot." Which means I'm going to have to stick around a lot longer... hehe Rocco
