I wonder why it chose Pipex out of the three servers I have in NewsHound? That was my original one, though. But on deletion of that file(s) in Newshound, Pluto then used one of my current ones - with no further action from me. It's not as if Pipex was the first file in the folder - it was the last. -- *Virtual reality is its own reward* Dave Plowman dave@davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.
