 I think that you may be right about the memory problem, but I
 can't see what I need to do to correct the matter. Here is a

 to you. The transfer to email insists on breaking the lines
 at inappropriate places.

P.S.: I'll try the recommendations you make in your last paragraph
below and report back on the results asap. M.
