Hello Ian,

 IH> It's nice to see a message from "the other half"!

I tend to lurk more than write lately.  I am now working as a First 
Sergeant again, and that takes up much of my energy.  This will be quick 
as I should be out running as I type.

That was a big "oops".  I meant directory/filenames in the path, not the 
path itself.  Hopefully, you figured out what I meant and not what I 
typed. :)

Regards,

Stephen
