Ya'll must have been typing at the same time.....thanks Linda:)

Yeah, but mine's the answer you asked for. The other... not quite.

yours linda is outdated from 2007 :P

Now now children....actually both your answers were of use so I thank you both for taking the time. No squabbles or I'll have to get both of you with my "weeping willow branch." For those maybe not from the south: it's legal, grows prolificercally, is LETHAL in the hands of a Mom--and squabbling children NEVER forget what they're being taught--ha! Just kidding. Many thanks.

There are many imitators, however.
