Configure.help is where I try to get the info correct.

Sorry about the blow out, just a freaked reaction of the 66MHz issue.
Not anywhere near, that level...because I goofed and allowed one person
to sucessfully invoke an operation that I did not consider.
Yes, this all would have been avoided had I gotten off my arse and did it.

Noted, the problem is that I do not express myself well :-(
Ask anyone about my writing skills......I can tell someone clearly face to
face. I am afriad that I would cause more problems trying to explain the
things needed than to try and make the code near bullet proof.
If I could get someone to extract the meaning of what I wanted to say or
point out that it makes zero sense, it would help......I just do what I do
and really find it hard to apply the actions to usable verbage.
Cheers,

PS: Thanks for the kick in the head, well arse!
