Dude! If I could reach through the monitor and hug you I would! Totally fixed. Totally operable :)

This does beg the question though...won't having Strawberry mingw above Rtools mingw cause problems for Rtools? Or is Rtools a bit more robust in that way?

I've dabbled in enough bits'n'bobs to know that more often than not, more is better when it comes to solving these sorts of issues. You know, help me help you kind of situation. And besides, after searching around here for a solution before posting it became apparent very quickly that the standard is pretty high here. Even the not so serious monks put most other posters on most other tech forums to shame. I'm very impressed :)

Thanks again!!!!
