Hi Jean, Thanks for the explanations in the last message. Things are, for the most part, running very well -- I do have a few things I wanted to follow up on though. I would have done so earlier, but I've felt pretty run down over the last couple of days and so limited my leisure time computer activities to just a few other areas. I'll try to formulate these questions and thoughts up in the next day or so. As a teaser, I think I may have an idea as to what that VID sensor is actually monitoring, but I'll have to do some investigation to firm up my suspicions (which, of course, could be entirely wrong anyways).
