FAQ and, even if i don't know the answer, i'm still going to add the question to remind me to *find* the answer. if you want to add a question and answer (or even just a question because you *want* to know the answer), drop me a note -- that wiki is not world-writable and never will be. anyway, back to work ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
