I know that now.

But I didn't cancel anything until after I saw 5049 messages and posted it to the list. Then, and only then, did I realize that I couldn;'t receive any responses to my question until I downloaded all messages-- six hours worth. I was tempted to re-post, leaving my toll free number..... but then, my computer was on the phone.

And I've done just that, hoping you are right. One thing's for sure, it's running real good just now. 

Many thanks, Ron and all.
