You never cease to amaze me, Jacque. Generous, patient and 
knowledgeable beyond all expectation.

Needless to say, your comments are very helpful. Thanks.

I might add -- I'm getting too old for this, and it isn't my hobby, 
and I have too many other things I must do. It is my sincere wish 
that I will never explore the possibilities of Rev. I just want my 
stacks and reports to work, and not to become dangerously obsolete. 
I'll add a <g> to indicate the absence of malice, but I am not being 
ironic.

Cheers,
