I've been very eager to give it a go, so it's definitely not a problem. :)

Well, this one's solved at least. :)  Thank you, Richard.

Well, there aren't many people out there with a similar setup at the

I shall try this once I'm feeling a little better.  Most likely later on

I'm quite sure they will.  I know I'll continue to test it, as long as 
you continue to update it. :)  I'll send more information when I sit 
down and follow your listing from above.
