Hi Tina,
Thank you for this heads-up as it'll save me no end of ..... "it rarely 
happens as I have Sandy make appropriate admonitions" if I have the horizon 
off,. Why?

Well if mine are off I can't stand her absolute, as only a woman can 
do,..... Haranguing!!!!! Now a days everytime I look through the viewfinder 
I can hear her lilting voice whispering.............. "keep it straight 
stupid!" ;-) And to be sure it works! ;-)

Although I thank you for your PS instruction on this matter as I do slip the 
odd one by her. ;-)
