Shankara: Please read my reply above in order to PM RosscoL. I usually do it myself, but since I just read through both pages again & know you hadn't...(or you'd have seen the connection on page one & the instructions above)  I'll leave you to it.  J.J.

Also, I'll link once again to the other post where you used your other Rootschat username
