Unfortunately, I work in America and my fellow America's write that I sent an email with no answer, when I bottom post them. So, I gave up and at my work location (where I am writing you from) I have set my default to top post. And I forgot to properly bottom post. So, sorry. Because of your help, you eliminated SM from my list of possible configuration problems and I began my configuration studies else where. Thanks again.
