I'm going thru my entire installed base and redoing it all. Perhaps there's a more clueful way to do it, but unless this will do any harm, it seems the most thorough. I need to explore the docs and get a better understanding of the ports tools: I seem to find this happening again and again. Thanks for the quick and detailed reply. -- Paul Beard paulbeard [at] mac.com --Apple-Mail-31--717362744--
