Answered in the basics group. Please do not multt-post - if you must,
cross-post and put the groups in the newsgroups field. It is annoying for
those of us who monitor 20-30 groups to answer a question over and over
because we can't remember whether we've replied or not.

You have at least two replies in the basics group - please go back there and
