However I've ended up with so many it's a real chore going back through them. :-) The reason I always copy my answers back to the list is so: 1) in case i've got it wrong 2) if i've got it right someone else who wanted to know can see it 3) if i've got it right no-one else will need to answer it and they can concentrate on the curly questions :-) Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au
