Don't give him that hard a time - let him know that it is possible.

Given the postings this user has made recently, Mr Brazee, I am not of the
opinion that I am giving 'that hard a time'.


How to do it? Look it up.

That might generate the question 'where?', which might generate the answer
'in the manual', which might generate the question 'which manual?'

.... which would generate, at least from me, at present, the answer 'the
one which contains the answer'.

Or pay an expensive consultant.

Having seen some of the consultants I have seen, Mr Brazee, this might
truly be no answer at all.
