And a bad idea to have a hose that is so long that you can easily accomplish that. ---------------------------------- Kevin Connell <kevin@nw*.co*> NW Labor Systems, Inc http://www.nwls.com *I* moved your cheese. ---------------------------------- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
