  (grin) The bit that really gets up my nose is that they *all* do
the same thing, but they insist of changing the logic each time.

  Yep! I really don't know what I was doing wrong before, but now it
makes sense (and it even works).

  Thank you... if I felt any better I'd be dangerous. We have the
technology. It's amazing how a heart attack becomes minor surgery and 
100% cure. All I have to show for it is before-and-after photographs
of a totally blocked heart artery, two vampire-bites in my groin, a 
bloody-great bruise, and a box of 6 different pills that don't seem
to do anything anyway.
