(I should have responded to this earlier, sorry) I sympathize with your frustration. OTOH the only way we make progress is if people like yourself pick up the totally-non-glamorous "dirty work" and just grind through to get it committed. You're basically describing the story of my life here, so I really _do_ sympathize. It's the type of thing that is completely invisible once it's fixed, and only noticeable when it's broken. I appreciate the time you've put into it. mcl
