WOW, great! I'm coming from 5.2. As I think on it, one of the systems
was a 5.0 or 5.1 and somewhere along the line became a 5.2. Should
keep better records but everything works so well I almost never have to
go back and point fingers -- at myself. :-)
I have a _less_ used system I'll try first.
My thanks to you and John Sullivan for doing the bleeding!
