Hi Dotan,

I can't remember how I solved the problem, however, I have blockcontrol in and 
working.  I have had difficulty posting bugs, though.  I would like to be able 
to post them.  I got dbg installed for everything so that I would have details 
when they come up.  Nice to hear from you, my friend.
