Hi Kent,

I was hoping you would weigh in. I figured that you would have the answer to 
this problem, thanks. I personally did not need the solution, other than to 
store in my head (my it is getting full), but wanted to assist by asking the 
"right" question.

Nice to see you slowly becoming more active on the net again. When are you 
coming to the Portland area? Still have a guest room ready.
