Very useful, thanks.

Glad to help. An occasional challenge helps me to hone the search skills -
which eventually helps me.

With Google, the dashes are interpreted as 'remove this term' from the
search. when you put it in qoutes, it is a litteral. Add a specific item
like 'diode' in this case or 'schematic' and the results usually pop out
pretty fast.

Composing google search strings reminds me of writing DOS batch files, I
never got the hang of replaceable characters.
