Donna, thanks a million for your reply. I have to really disrupt my schedule to be there on a Thursday nite (3 1/2 hours away and go back for granddaughter next day!) so I really wanted to be sure it was equal to the effort! Sounds good, but like you say, more for new folks! I may pass after all unless I can get the back and forth thing solved. Thank you so much for chiming in! ma
