Thanks for the suggestion. I've spent the better part of the evening
rubbing the skin off of my left index finger and things are somewhat better.
I think if I spend a couple of hours tomrrow morning I just might get it.
To David Blumberg: Your comment about Gilliotti at least made me feel
somewhat redeemed. Thanks to you both.
