Very few people can figure out what they are trying to say. Every once in a while, I get lucky and can keyword a package or something and get past a blocker but sometimes, it may as well spit out Greek characters. What gets me on this one, it really didn't give a clue what the real problem is. If it did, I missed it. I just wonder, is there some way they can make emerge spit out something that makes sense or is that something that can not be done? Dale :-) :-)
