I didn't have one, found references with google that it was the new and upcoming thing, so I created it myself. So, it must have been a bug that should have been reported but I didn't realize that. By creating it myself, I created a bit of a problem. Now what to do about it. I don't see any news item or anything on it. I generally look at elogs but we know how that works. lol I guess I missed that one. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
