Edisto has done some good work here. Its a pity this FAQ has to be in a series of posts. It would be much easier to read if it could be collapsed into a single post that Edisto could edit/udate on an ongoing basis.

 

[edisto]

Too big for a single post Bob, but I split it up into 3. If the mods are OK with it, they can delete all the preceding posts (except Gary's of course).

 

[BobL]

EXCELLENT! - and I don't mind it this post is deleted.
