(I'm saying this, with vague irritation for the fact the OP
has asked other questions on this forum that developed
into complex and disparate threads to which the OP did
not reply)

So ..be warned D.M. try to get more active in the replies to
the threads *you* start, or expect much shorter, and more terse
replies from *me*, in future.

This in *not* a help desk, in case you night have any
misaprehensions.
Andrew,
what do *SSCCE* and OP stand for ?

GIYF.

"Simple Self-Contained Correct (compilable) Example".
The canonical way to explain a problem and get good help.

"Original Poster"
First person in the thread. Also can mean "Original Post", the post by which the OP started the thread.

"Google is Your Friend".
It is wise to search first, ask questions later. I also like to say, "WIYF" - Wikipedia is your friend.

There is also:
<http://mindprod.com/jgloss/newsgroups.html>
which will guide through and around all sorts of dangers, such as multiposting, using HTML for Usenet, how to ask questions intelligently and many more. Roedy Green, the mindprod.com guru, has created the ultimate site for such matters. It is chock-full of wisdom.
