Ok, I heartily recommend you get a service manual, not only for the PRO-2042 
but also for the PRO-2006.  Much of my work was centered around the 
PRO-2004/5/6 series and for which the 2042 is largely compatible, but I'm not 
about to rewrite everything expressly for the 2042, that's for sure.  Got too 
many things to do, too many places to go; and too many people to see......

You're welcome.    I am accustomed to being hated.  There is such a fine line 
between love and hate anyway, and sometimes you just can't tell the damn 
difference.  Like my Pit Bull, "Gonad", he just loves to gnaw on people.  
They perceive it as "hate".  Tsk tsk tsk...........  /Bill
