Dear Anton,

Thank you, that works perfectly.  That's what I love about programming, just
change a single character, and the world goes from total chaos to perfect order.
 It reminds me of a saying I heard once.  If carpenters built houses the way
programmers write programs, you could walk into any house, remove any single
nail, and the structure would collapse into pieces no larger than toothpicks.

Thanks again.
Henry
