Pavel,
Thanks very much for the concise, clearly explained, and very workable
response to my question. It's working beautifully and is exactly what I
wanted. I did need to change the advanced tab contents to my serial
port to get it to work (Item 4 of your reply).
I appreciate your taking the time to answer someone who's not in the
same league as most of the folks who contribute to this list.
