Hi Will,

Thanks for the expert and prompt reply. I knew it was easy to do because
I've done it before, but I couldn't for the life of my recall how, and
Windows/Help didn't give me anything useful. I think many users would throw
their computers in the trash, were it not for the Newsgroups and
contributors like you.

Many thanks,
Richard
