Hey Brian, thanx for the help. I followed the instructions you provided me and can't even get it to download to the desktop. I will send you some gobbly gook I get. when I try to download the "yum" file. I do not know if you will be able to decipher it, but here it goes..............The options are: debug, save to file or quit.
