When I tried reading what I wrote in an earlier version of this table, all I could find on the screen was dollar signs. Lines went beyond emacs line width so I'll need to find out how to have amacs shut off the dollar sign display and show content instead if I can get the rest of this figured out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude Adobe fiend for failing to Flash
