Absolutely none, as you can see from my previous post. Also, as I said
in that post, I have been "brought up" in the Demon Internet Support
Turnpike, (d.i.s.t) NG and anyone who has experience of that NG knows
what "flaming" can be like.
Finally, I have carried out your advice and my problem with macros seems
to have gone, (touch wood). However, I have an ongoing problem with
pages, (usually in my email client Turnpike), opening in the reduced
mode, (for want of the proper word) and I have to maximise them every
time. I just quote it here as an example of a problem which seems to me
insoluble and even to the TP newsgroup, not an easy one. However, I can
live with it until the "real expert" comes along with a magic
solution;-))
Thanks again.
