Fred,

I'm sure (and was) that that was the case. But I *do* feel that these kinds of guesses do take them off the hook.

Way back in July Mr. Gates was said to have said that MS needed to do a far better job of communicating with its users. You'd think that by now something ewould have materialized toward that end, but NOTHING HAS!!!

I just wish that people like yourself would send them questions along these lines relentlessly until you got answer(s).

Cheers,

Jim N
