    While I appreciate you are not used to computers, please use proper punctuation, capital letters and check your spelling. Your posts are very difficult to read. To get a capital letter, press and hold the SHIFT key (sometimes has an up-arrow on it) while typing a letter.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Tom, I will. Thank you for taking time out of your life to reply and offer advice. I must get back to work now. Have a nice day.... By the way your punctuation is just perfect. You must be so proud of yourself. I wish I could be like you. Toodles :D
