TWO "Bravo's" in one day?!!?  Unheard of on my part until now!  MAN I wasted
some COMMON dollars a couple of years ago learning C, which I have since
promptly forgotten because nobody uses it.  I suspect that the same will
happen with JAVA, given the new DDS support for HTML.  In this industry
"what's hot" often becomes "what's not".

Bravo, Bob.
