     Thanks for the warning. I doubt that I will ever run it under
Windows 95 though, my computer is only 25Mhz and I am currently using a
monochrome screen to compute with.

     Hmmm... You lost me there, I don't recall reading about 'parent' and
'master' environments. I run back over the manual and reread that
section. I'm sure that would have givin me a lot trougble you hadn't
brought up that point, thanks!

     Thanks to all else who have written me a reply as well!!

   Later!
