Jerry,

I'm a long time reader of this newsgroup, so I'm well aware of richard's 
reputation and the probable futility of providing him with a proper 
answer.  I was just observing that it was refreshing to see someone take 
the time to explain the thought process involved in solving a problem of 
this type, rather than just replying "that's a Programming 101 exercise 
that any idiot should be able to do".  Will it help richard - who knows? 
  Will it help some other newbie? Maybe.
