happy to have been of service :)

TBH, though, i've hit CTRL-Z by mistake a few times and thought i had lost my
work... so i went hunting to find out what i had done and was relieved to find
that this was what it was and i didn't lose anything... if i had rebooted,
yeah, i'd have lost it but thankfully i didn't do that :lol:
