Jasper,

Too clever...okay. Thanks for the help. I'm trying that 
now...up to the "wait ages" part. If it works as 
advertised I will gladly re-write my how-to and credit 
you with the tip off.

The reason I didn't try that before was because the last 
time I applied to this list...nobody suggested any such 
thing quite so clearly. So I had to go with what was 
offered me. Which is exactly what I ment by folks being 
"guruishly terse".

It's kind of funny, because, I know a real Tibetan guru, 
and he speaks ever so much more plainly than typical 
Unician variety.

Thanks again!

Gan
