I appreciate you help. However, for some reason I am quite sick and
have not felt like doing anything. I went to the doctor's today and
got some meds. I am going to rest this weekend and see if I can feel
better. Then on Monday, I will try and do what you said below.
I did not want you to think I did not appreciate the help you have
given me.
Thanks,
Caesar
