(Mark is now assigning self many todos to check out the many todo programs... I can't help feeling like I am somehow trapped in a circular dependency.) ;-) Thank you Kai! -- -MM I rarely read email from this address /"\ because of spam. \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign I MAY see it if you put #NOTSPAM# X Against HTML Mail in the subject line. / \
