Thanks for the info.
Any way to change the font to "Courier New" ?
I have found that's the best font to use for
program files because it's non proportional.
It's even more important when you want to discuss
program fragments, or ideas.
It would be nice to be able to set that?
I have to say this is the worst message board i've seen so far
with respect to how it works etc. The other ones i use all
have some way to edit your post, in case you type something
wrong, etc, or want to update the info.
The worst thing though is the formatting or whatever the heck
they call it 
on here. Never saw anything like it.
Sometimes indentations get reduced, etc.
Welp, take care for now,
Al
