Thanks Meir,

Yeah, I know I'm not stupid, just my ego and vanity getting a little
bruised - I hate not being able to figure stuff out on my own!

The org that I got the computer from gave me lots of info,
unfortunately, my brain only seems able to take in a little at a time,
and it's *cold* here too... someone please email me some warm weather!!!
