I don't nkow what happenned ,but earlier today when I viewed this letter it looked like this (and made much more sense.) But somehow the HTML that I used got changed. Oh well I am sure you got the idea by now Art.
Nice job with your explanation Max....I think you put it better than I did.

Art, HTML=Hypertext Markup Language. It tells your Browser (netscape, I. Explorer, etc.) what the page should look like and do. All web pages are created usining HTML commands. You can use html commands to create special effects like italics or to create live links in your postings to this forum. That is what the above list is, it is a list of html tags that you can use in your postings. Each tag comes in two parts, a prefix and a suffix.
example:

<STRONG>strong</STRONG>

<STRONG>=the prefix
</STRONG>= the suffix
using these tags before and after the word strong will make it look like this:
strong
If you wish to create a live link use this tag:
<A HREF="http://web address here"> click here!</A>
