Wow I wasn't aware of all of the many things that env returned.
I did know some of the things you had mentioned but nowhere near the 
complexity of what you have told me here.

Thanks very much for the detailed info. Things have become much clearer now.
btw this has been printed and archived for future use.

Thanks again
Glenn
