Thank you yet again. I was sure there was some way of getting around
this, but my books (no doubt not wanting to reveal anything BBBG doesn't
think we need to know) weren't telling me. And yes, I always keep a boot
floppy on hand (and will NOT buy a PC without a floppy drive until
there's an alternative). The structure looks pretty transparent, but
will study it carefully before doing anything.


Thanks again.
