    Actually, you are right. I've seen Disneyland a couple of times and 
its too expensive to go back again. Now OTOH, after listening to KPH for 
so many years I would love to see where all those Vs came from. I used 
to practice my code by copying press, for some reason I preferred KPH. I 
remember the "ditter" which would come on when they broke for SP.
     I thank you for the compliment, which I consider a very great one.
