Hi,
And thanks for your response.
Actually, I have gotten quite a few response in private e:mail. That
seems to be the norm in this newsgroup (and thanks to all who have
replied). Personally, I think open responses to the newgroup would
benefit a wider range of "newbies". If nothing else, it would
facilitate being able to perform a Deja search and find answers.
Anyway, that's my 2� worth.....
Stay tuned for my next installment of "Questions from the Newbie"!!
