Walter, I haven't a clue who you are and why you feel I was personally
asking you for anything. If you feel my comment was specifically
directed at you, then I definitely suggest you spend more time with
your family, and less on this newsgroup.

What I pay back is to post my own answer to my own question, to help
others who might have the same problem, and to try to answer one or
two questions for each that I post.
