<DIV>I think that modifying somebody else's script more challenging.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just recently had to so a complete re-write to incorporate stuff that someone else contributed. It was very difficult to find the right thing to search for just to get info on the source command. Fortunately, I was able to describe what I wanted to accomplish and several people responded (from a different list) with the correct command to do it. It is very hard to do on your own without guidance from more experienced people.</DIV>
