Debbi,
Glad you got it working. After reading through Guy's post and your 
original post, I realize now that you were running OS9 rather than OSX. 
So some of my suggestions wouldn't have applied anyway. :-) But I am 
glad that Guy's suggestions made a difference. He seems to know the OS 
rather well.
