Thanks.  That's a chunk-o-code.  However mobius being entirely software 
based...and...remember..I'm talking about something utilizing real 
hardware that takes the place of a lot of that code and just sits there 
doing it's thing without prompting in many cases :-).

Anyway nice to know such considerate people are working for us.  Maybe 
someone can teach him not to be so presumptuous and more personal.  
Maybe someone already did and *next* time our conversation will be more 
pleasant.  :-) -Bob
