Thanks everybody, I MUST'VE used "scottish" instead of scotch in the search
as I got more hits than I can use. Spent several hours looking through maybe
30 pages worth.

Thanks also for the books of mechanisms mentioned I've been jonesing for one
(at least <grin>) for some time now. Will tactfully put them on my
christmass/birthday/make up "register" so Deb can "surprise me. <grin>

However I have to thank Dave especially, for the search tip.

I'm not so good at searching the web because I didn't know hot to say "ONLY"
in boolean terms. Have to admit I let frustration keep me from really trying
to figure out how though I have read the instructions repeatedly. Tried the
" "s and it worked like a charm on a number of searches. Had Deb try and
she's sending you a HUG. <grin>

So thanks everybody and a big HUG for Dave.
