Ed,

No, I did not check for a FAQ or browse the group to see if there was already an answer for my question. The reason being I didn't know to do these things. I do now know however, and have implemented those techniques (successfully!) in questions I have since had.

I do appreciate learning these new ways of utilizing the group and suppose that I have you to thank for that - so thank you.

Yet in the future I really think it would be easier for those who know the answers to inquiries to let newbies such as myself know what the answer is, while also letting us know that there are other ways to obtain the answers.

I suppose we all learned something from this little discourse. I know I did.
