Chris,
I too don't like that response:
"look in the how to's"
and the like.
If someone is an otherwise experienced person with technology, then a good
piece of software or an operating system should be intuitive, and it should
be do-able without reading documentation.
With winblows and all of its flaws, I can at least say that the average user
with an interest in figuring it out can do so without documentation.
I have learned DOS and winblows without ever touching any documentation.

Glenn

You know what, i really hate people with that type attitude.  it almost
seems to me as if you don't even care to help, like one a these RTFM people,
and by that i don't mean f=fine either...

All I'm asking for is some help, and yes I read the documentation, how else
would i a done it...  I'm not ententionally trying to sound rude, but my God
and a mile and a half!  your reply seemed very cold to me...

i'm only asking for a little help.  is that too much to ask?


Chris.
