Thank you, Captain2, for your detailed and courteous reply. As for the "seen answered" and the link responses, believe me, I had looked through for existing answers as well as I knew how, but the Answerbank site is by no means easy to navigate. Fear of getting such replies is a major disincentive against asking at all. Roger.
