thanks for the specifics. I had found that "force system break" thing with a little more digging. Software engineers shouldn't write their own GUI's (pavane excepted). "Force system break" indeed.

If there's one thing I'd like to see in all such programs, its good task-oriented documentation, starting with a simple clear explanation of what kinds of tasks the program is designed to accommodate, and what it is not designed to do. (Dream on).
