Thanks a bunch, Ed. Very, very clear and useful information. I sure
do appreciate it. With one post, you've cleared up more things in my
head than I suspect you realize. Of course, there's still a lot of
clutter up there, but every little bit helps. :-)

Man, there's a tremendous wealth of knowledge in this group.

Thanks,
tg.
