Steve:
Thanks for the moral support. We indeed are all in this together, and I
always try to be patient with those who ask questions, because chances are
very good that I've been in a similar situation myself at some point.
That, to me, is one of the true benefits of this list.
And, I'll try that idea with the control key sometime when I feel the need
to be mentally challenged. (grin)
Sounds like it really could be useful, as you suggest.
