Richard had shared that some time ago and it worked great, the thing is 
for some reason (SuperCard, I guess) I have a hard time putting my mind 
around repeat for each line tLine and then if tLine - I have used it  
but it doesn't always come to mind in trying to figure something out.

Love it though.....
