Hi Bill;

I have that all nice and saved away as a template in Frescobaldi as I 
will be using it frequetly. Thank you again for your patience and 
willingness to help.

ust as an aside, I don't know if you reply all as a matter of style or 
if I am new and unsure i I am subscribed to the list. I actually am 
subscribed through the gmane nntp feed and see all replies that way. 
Thank you or the courtesy of replying directly also.

Regards
Keith
