Thanks Tracy. Sometimes I don't have time to read individual articles and this is a big help.

You are very welcome. Thanks for the kind words. It's nice to know you find it useful. BTW, to save time (lots of time) I use software that changes favorites (directories) into html. The problem is it insists on putting it in alphabetical order, thus the recent stuff ends up at the bottom of the page. Is this terribly annoying? Any ideas? Thanks again.
