[David Carmichael <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK Steve how does one do this... "...You need to first make sure that all of

This is all the info that I can find via the web at this time... and it
seems that the 'FIX' that SWBI did a few hours ago did not stick because I
am nolonger able to reach the site again!!
