	This is what happens when I post when I've been drinking. I meant,
of 
	course, to say "onstat", not "onmonitor".

Oh no! I use onstat too!!! I'm really tempted to unsubscribe from the lists now so that I don't parade my ignorance further. (Then again, I must be offering the benefit to others of showing them how clever and knowledgeable they are, so I'll stay.) In fact I was going to stay any way. I'm happy to parade ignorance in return for quality advice.

Regards,

Malcolm.
