Val,
 That is an interesting thought. I never though of it that way!  However, as
much as I hate Netscape (only because it frustrates me) I am having a really
hard time right now dealing with redirecting WebTV. Any suggestions on
this???
Lisa

| With all due respect, that's a ridiculous analogy.  People with
