Shawn, I guess I should've included a few more details. Basically, Craig got it right, and I am guessing his past experience had something to do with this :-}.

What do you do if the system is hosed? -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
