Thanks, after I posted this I had a look at eternal-september that another poster also mentioned in a different thread.

I decided I don't have time today but bookmarked it for some other time.

Checking the list of clients I was pleased to see Claws on there, that also took me back. Might have to give it another look, it's been a while.

thanks again, I appreciate the feedback!
