It would be nice to be able to type 'help <command' to get an individual use format, or to just type help to get the whole list (with page pauses of course...@ but I don't know how difficult that would be. I don't blame you for not wanting to do the data entry, after all the time you have put into the coding portion...*smile*  I would be more than willing to do some of the data _base_ entries, when that becomes necessary, but like I said, I won't be able to put too much time in.  Just don't sign me up to do all of them...@ Thanks for the quick response...it is good to know someone who is considerate is in charge of this development...@ Jason McL This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
