right on all counts. thanks.

As for the linking syntax... I was curious how others had done it, so I looked it up and found out... but it was after I already posted. I was going to update my posting with the new link sytnax, but then got sidetracked by the fact that "update" doesn't give a "preview" button like normal posting does... so, I hesitated (cuz I didn't want to make a mistake, and I wanted to actually see it work), so I opted to ask folks in the chatterbox why there was no Preview button... this started a discussion that had me forgetting what I was going in the first place.

sigh...
