Colin,

	Thanks.  That is what I was looking for.

	And yes, these types of posts take up bandwidth just like newbie 
questions.  The difference is that newbies will keep coming, and coming, 
and coming until we just can't stand it anymore and go elsewhere.  You 
will find that with Linux and OSS you can't go anywhere without running 
into a distro war, BSD's vs. BSD's, BSD's vs. Linux, etc.  I won't even 
touch on those issues...
