    Thanks for the info.  I believe I received v6.1 today, so I should be 
able to work with it and hope that it does the job.  I really liked the 
format of AvailList and as I have seen with some other programs, I like some 
features of one and other features of other programs.  Too bad I can't switch 
them so that I can have all the features I like in the same program, but 
that's life.  :-)
   Sorry if I stepped on some toes, but I had some unexpected results with 
the v55 program.  The word wrap did not wrap at the same place that my other 
program did and I didn't see a way to configure it.  Also, my alias file got 
re-written and I had to re-build it.  Just one of those things I guess.
    TTYL
