X I don't quite understand? Do you mean that I a) was replying to everyone instead sending post to you b) was replying to everyones post ??? Any guidance is always well accepted (if not always followed)

"none of the above" The thread which included the additional program as mentioned has a post by you within it, and you also posted another message (to another thread) four hours after my program was posted, so I thought that you might have seen everything posted to the group around that time (although of course nothing is certain or reliable on the internet). If you can access Google Groups (which has been returning us nothing but "404 not found" for well over 24 hours), or even your own news server, you might be able to find it; hope it helps.

I've been on this group for only a couple of weeks, but already I notice that explanatory and tutorial posts like the above from you *are really good!* You probably have copies of everything you've posted here -- perhaps if you scanned through them, picking the hopefully-many that you think most tutorial, etc, and gathering them into one huge "Meyers-FAQ" would be *really* useful to *everyone* here, both old and newbies. Of course, all it takes is lots of time... :-( But maybe something? Thanks!!!! David
