    Ok,

    That's what I needed, some more pointing in the
right direction.  Thanks, Pat. 
    Another thing.  Was someone (Vance maybe?)
referring to ME when they said "He's young and cocky" 
and "clever"?  Because "young and cocky" I'll admit
to, but "clever"....I don't know...LOL  
Well, the "young and cocky"  thanks all you guys for
your wisdom and support.  After those few first posts
on propane tanks recently, I may just change my plans
a little....

                              Laters,

                                  Chris
