    Very odd, David, the first time I looked at the page the code was 
spelled out at the top. The second time it was not there. Its not very 
fast so I can mostly read it. Maybe one day I will reach the point where 
code just sounds like speech. Be interesting to see what happens when i 
get my hearing fixed (soon).
