>>Hush! you're confusing the poor guy! Take no notice, Sam. I've never had any problem from "sequence of opening" nor was I aware that it could be a problem. If it should prove crucial in future then you can do it manually, when you have more experience.

That sounds like a very obscure problem. Again, one that comes at an advanced stage. And, as you said, it's a conversion issue.
