Ned,

That is cool, BTW did you write the cs I attached to my last message (and that 
has been eaten by the list I just found, so re-attaching it). Someone on the 
list sent it to me, I forgot who, and was lazy to search. Yours is probably 
more integrated in the viewer (I mean the <down> etc), in the attached that I 
use I do not know how to do script non-textual.
 Thanks Milan
