Thanks my friend, after today, it won't be necessary.  I have been 
getting the reference to google for years and not be able to get the 
right answer.  Frans sent me an email with the shortcut to the page that 
instructs you how to properly use google and it changed my life.  I have 
googled wrong for as long as I can remember.  His instruction was like 
yours.  He sent me where I needed to go.  I will bet that of all the 
posts I have made, I could have avoided most of them if I had known how 
to post a request properly.  I accept the shortcut with gratitude and 
hope it is the last time it is necessary.  Thanks friend;
