That was my reading too, RickyMaveety. But we have some people here who are a little bit on the pedantic side. (But in a good way. Where would we be without accuracy?) I think we have to assume that the original poster is not a total Luddite otherwise he/she would felt have been able to use a computer at all. And I've got some sympathy with them. There is a Babel of formats out there.
