That just deletes the text, but not the reference to the page.  Patrick has 
given a full answer to the problem I had.  Whilst I have been around 
computers, mainly programming in the distant past in "George" (_First 
generation, valve computer that filled 2 biggish rooms), Fortran, PL1, 
Pascal, Delphi -- I have now moved over to Linux and became an Open Source 
Enthusiast.  I also learned to program Python - and love it.  Perhaps now I 
will need to learn PHP, but I am not sure if it's worth while.  I am 80 and 
what is the life expectancy for males?

Don't let it bother you - a good effort!  You will not get 90% mark with HD, 
but you will get 76% for good effort - and for trying.

Thanks for that,

OldAl.
