Hello Tom and Wesley. Did either of you get my response
which I posted on March 24 after you both helped me with
this issue? I cannot find my response anywhere on the
board. I don't want to appear ungrateful. If you did not
get my response it was because of some system glitch. Not
my system but from the Newsgroup's end.

Thank you.

Cecil
