Thanks Michael and Alexander for all your help.  As Michael has
pointed out it looks like my system is not fully working and I think
it's still beyond my skill set at the moment and it's taking too much
time to sort out.  I have an old Dell Dimension R350XPS here with a
PII 350MHz proc. and 256MB RAM, I think I'll give that a try and see
if I can get back on schedule with my project.

Thanks again for the help gentlmen I'm sure you'll be hearing from me
again soon... ;)
