One too many "helper" replies? Johannes ;}
Hey, you did put RTFM in that message anyway! Good for you. Though you
just couldn't resist a hint in there, albeit not much of one(?). LOL
Btw, yes, you can count on most of us not taking that wrong, right
people? Think I heard them say "Yeah!"
I'm going to go help (or hinder, depends on how you look at it) others
now. Just wanted to be sure you knew there was support for the "Use the
Help and/or Doc" concept from me.
