Howard:

Maybe I'm making this harder than it needs to be.

Once I do the editing, will the program file just work with the software as 
is, when I launch it?

If so, sorry about my last two posts.

Guess it's good that I'm not trying to be a computer programmer as a way to 
make  a living!  (grin)
