Ratman and others, I'm even more computer illiterate than Sara Thomas because I don't even have Windows. But I second her suggestion to avoid downloading (one more thing I don't know how to do). I spend very little time reading messages because if they don't apply to me, a quick delete works, and if I think they might, I just capture txt to a file and read them (and/or print them) later at my leisure. In this case, perhaps ignorance really is bliss, but won't this also work for you more sophisticated types? Marti Eiermann
