You *WIN* the award for the most useful reply!!! Your kilometers ahead
of the competition! This is exactly the sort of information I was looking for
but no-one else seemed to know. Everyone else told me that what you describe
above couldn't be done - they said I *had* to edit the main info file and
and my new info file as a new node ...
Bless you, Bless you ...
