Hey Matt,

By George I think youve done it!

ITS ALIVE!    hehe 

I havent done extensive test on the routine but it works so far.
I should have more test done on this tonight and I'll let you know
what happens.

Only draw back thus far is, it sure is alot of extra typing.
But I sortof expected this.

Later,

Euman
