That's a great explanation! Tom you da Man! I put that one in my notebook! BTW for everyone who is new to the list; get yourself a notebook (3 ring binder) and a 3 hole punch. This way you get a collection of the problems you have worked through. No one remembers "everything" at all times having a desk reference is great. In the future you will use your notebook to help other folks; giving back to the community what you have learned. This should be a paper type notebook because you may need to fix something without access to an electronic version. Keep an electronic version but having a notebook is really nice. The "man" pages are great but your notebook will get you through the night. ;-) Sam.
