Interesting, that is the first thing I though that I screwed up and
checked it out.

Yesterday I got a hold of another computer, not as good, but
usable. I have set that one up to run. Now the pressure is off to
get the bad one working. Hence I did not get a change to work with it
yesterday.

So now it is off to a little trip. For those who are looking for a
short trip, I recommend the Smokie Mountain Railroad, http://www.gsmr.com/

Thanks for everyone's help.
