Why don't you correspond directly with Pat instead of posting to this ng?
Most people with at least some knowledge in computers know that posting a
question directly to the creators of (commercial) software is usually
pointless. You don't get any answers. And, I don't crave an answer. I am
thankful for all the help I can get. Finally, posting to this ng was my last
resort after googling, RTFM, trying again and again and so on.
At least I got a clever answer by Gary Carlson, Thanks again, Gary.
