hello
i would first like to thank the following people for some very good
suggestions
Dannielle georgette

Most of the answers pointed towards the same thing, hence I am including one

Secondly, I am using a 4.0X release of the OS , hence I know its not very
difficult.So I just wanted a sanity check.
Thanx again
