    Been there done that which is precisely why I asked E. Thank you for your reply. I was going to list ALL OF THEM until I realized that was unnecessary so I ceased and desisted on my quest. For what it's worth.

    Say what? Well I never learned how to cut and paste. Don't know how to move stuff from one place to the other. Don't know how to download photos or links. Why? Never bothered to learn. Never needed to. Whatever you see on my question  is by my hand. Not cut and paste. But spending an HOUR? Not this cooky. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thy. Also happy day before you know what. You are welcome.
