Hey, I'm curious about something.  How does a guy who said he has
"worked in small automotive shops for the last 30 years" end up on
Usenet of all places?  Not only are you on Usenet but you're in
comp.lang.forth.  I've known a few cars guys in my life and I
seriously doubt that any of them would ever be found in a computer
or programming group.  AIR, they shunned computers, IRL.  Of course,
cars today are computer controlled.
