Than you, Alexander, for clarifying this for those who would jump down 
other's throats too quickly. I can't tell you how much wrong information 
I was sometimes given when first learning the computer. However, it was 
always valuable in that eventually the situation to which the information 
was related became evident and therefore useful.
In my experience most have not yet come across this setting and I felt it 
might have something to do with the situation, even if it did not 
completely solved the question it might have been a piece of the puzzle..
