What it doesnt use in this case is the *page* formatter i.e. more/less/pg etc. Thanks and sorry. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Dr Jon Jenkins Location: Digital Equipment Corporation NaC Voice/Fax: 61-7-55-75-0151/100 Burnett Place, Research Park, Inet: jenkinsj@ozy.dec.com Bond University, Gold Coast Close Proximity: "HEY YOU !!!"
