[Georgios Pyrgiotakis]

Bruno, Daniel:

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am currently on travel,  
but I will try them as soon as I get back home.

Thanks once more. This mailing list has been a life saver oh so many  
times. (well that time is for hobby purposes but still thank you a  
million)

Georgios

P.S. Bruno the side bar idea is very smart and helpful for many other  
cases as well. Thanks!!!
