QuiltE, has it occurred to you and to MCkwilter and certain others that perhaps the person writing is learning English as a seond language? I don't know that this is true, but my experience as a teacher leads me to believe that is a real possibility. Or that the poster may have a language disability? How about trying to rephrase what you think might be the question or questions and ask if your interpretation is correct. My personal thanks to all of you who are trying to offer help instead of--well, whatever it is. froggyintexas
