I would like to thank you very much for posting this.  I know that it could be
useful if I knew how to utilize it (big word, ohhhhh).  What I mean is, how
would I apply this?  I mean, could you make me a little program that just adds
on to this that will show this little routine actually work?  Do you see what
I am saying?  I tried to do it myself but couldn't come up with any way for it
to work.

THANX
Dan
