Hi,

Thanks, but I've tired it with and without the \n, to no avail.  I still 
think is's some stupid thing I'm doing, and just can't get back far 
enough to see it.

I've started working on a java implementation (java is all I know much 
about). "The fastest shortcut is the one you know"  ;)

thanks,

morris
