Thanks!! I've been working on this problem, posting in this and another ng,
and was stymied. This worked beautifully.

The only change I had to make is that the file name of my problem file was
"reserve[1]." If I typed in that name, I received a 'file not found'
message. I just did "del res*" and it worked like a charm.

Much appreciated.
