Many thanks to you and Kurt! My cpu thanks you as well as it has lost 70 
headaches in the form of individual players. One could build a sandwich while 
waiting for the invisible objects to show up.I was confused as to player 
filenames and player names. I had thought them to be one and the same. I'm 
sorry to inject beginner questions into this forum but.........such am I.
