A little trimming is in order or your posts really become somewhat confusing, and it is good netiquette. Some spacing might also be an improvement. Perhaps you should analyze a little of what you have done. You included in your macro "set delete=no", and have not read the resulting action according to the quoted doc, and that was not what the OP instructed.
