Thanks for clearing it up Charles.

Usually after I get one of my problem solved, I hover over the REPLY button
and wonder that if I send my "thanks it worked" -- if I'm not adding to the
huge pile and causing extra work.

Sometimes I send it -- othertimes I didn't. Now that I know it isn't
bothersome, perhaps I will say thanks more often? :)
