Keith, please bear with me. I will try to look into this during the weekend, I hope (sigh...) to finish work 1 or 2
hours earlier than usual those days.
BTW, if you could write down those messages as you suggested, it might be helpful. Hopefully not too much extra work
for your shaky 71 year old hands ;-)
Cheers
