I just looked at it, dumbfounded, for about an hour. I was going to send it back to the head hood honcho, but I stuck a number 15 scalpel blade on a number 4 Aesculap handle and trimmed it progressively 'till it fit. Works properly now. I'll sell it to you for $5,555. Rick Dykstra - ---------- >From: "Dale R.
