Thank you very much... I did try and search the archives but did not 
find this originally. I had dropped out of the list for a bit and I 
guess that's when I missed it. It's exactly what I was thinking. So any 
idea when it will be incorporated... I hate to have a patched local 
version if there is an official release that will fix it coming on the 
horizon.
