Thanks Graham.  I see the answer was obvious for you too.  Thanks a 
lot for your help.  How long did it take you to become proficient in 
AFL?  I'm reading as much as I can but it is still confusing.  At 
least I used to be somewhat adept at FORTRAN, which probably helps 
me understand the flow structure better than someone with no 
previous programming experience, but I'm still pretty much lost.
