If you want instructions for entering syntax, then we can give you some.
But the tone that I pick up from your email indicates that you are not
really interested.
Quoting Gordon Handford <agordonhandf...@gmail.com>:
So how on earth would I enter the syntax to make this modification?
Remember that I am not a programmer. The last programming I did
was 30
years ago in Fortran. Maybe I need to give up and enter each case
by hand?
