Jay;
What ever I was trying to load when I got the OAFII invest applet I got side
tracked I do not remember. One of the woes of old age. But anyway trying to
duplicate I attempted to add sticky notes ang got that OAFII again except
Gnome was added to description. So whatever OAFII is I obviously have a
problem. Any help appreciated
