There's CH server problems, there's ISP and email client problems -- and then there's CH user problems. Sending posts to the right address always helps. I jokingly asked Mary-Anne if she was sure she was using the right address (and asked her not to lob tomatoes at me). As punishment for my warped humor, the message I sent to the list four hours ago has not come through because I screwed up the address. LOL. The good stuff in this post, the actual meat, from Steve Duddy, is clear at the end! (sorry, Steve, I sure messed this up.) Let me try again and see if ol' bumble-fingers can get it right.
