Thanks everyone for the information. I thought for sure it was that I
was doing something wrong, which is why I didn't google it first.

I'll also start a new thread next time; I didn't think it would be
associated with that old thread any longer for the very reason that it
was so old. I also thought it was more of an issue of how to use the
commands to trace a signature that was my issue, certainly not that a
signature ID had been re-purposed.

Thanks again,
Alex
