Thanks for your response.  To everybody who responded, that is; I just got
back notification that about 8 of my 10 responses I sent out last week
bounced.

My problem with AMAC is still a mystery.  It went back undercover when I
put in some more code.  I have some good ideas of what to do if it shows up
again.

Also:  Could comeone post diskcomm?  I'd like to try out those "new titles",
and I am missing that piece.
