Scott, and all others,
Guess what?
I purchased altBrowser months ago. I bought it with the MagicCarpet and
forgot. What an idiot I am sometimes. So now that I understand what it
is that I was seeing and also that htmlText can't handle all these web
features I will look into the altBrowser.
Thanks so much for all of the help.
