Ok! I shall be busy this weekend *grin*  Skip what I said before.  As for
the look.  Anything white becomes a pail grey which is only a problem on
the intial page (the last line where it gives you the fx keys is hard to
read.) Otherwise the blue bkgrnd goes to black all else is in shades of
gray and readable. ... so far.

Note in case of error is there a way to "capture the output"... other than
setting the laptop next to my desktop keyboard and typing REAL fast.
*grin*
