That was absolutely awesome! thank you. :) I hadn't thought of doing it

bash -flags yet. However I see something coming together here.
Richard: can you help me remember again what it is that we're looking for

When ever people annoy me I remember, "Vengence is mine saith the Lord."
My prayer is, "...here am I Lord...send me!"
