Thanks, shooty, but I'm still not sure.....

I am.

Thanks again.

I had seen re = regards fit=healthy
and refit= repair
but hadn't put them together as you have.
Always have been more of a guesser than a parser :-))

Stop it. We know your capabilities when it comes to Xwords. : )

Now all we need is Pantonsteve to let us know that they all fit ok. ?
