Dear Karl,

I am having so much fun.  Thanks so much.  I have never been able to 
figure out how to get help until I was able post on this source.  I have 
learned more in two days than the entire 2 years I have been trying to 
solve my problems.  There was just too much to learn without help.  
Sorry to be winded, but I am so very happy.  Thanks again friend.
