It works like a champ -- its wonderful
I know this one is a newbie question, and im sorry, but I don't even
know where to look to find the answer....
I would like to send the output to a file that I could open in excel. A
text file would work, because the way it outputs, there are spaces
between items (I think it would work)
Can someone suggest a method?
thanks -- TIM
