Thanks Chris. I actually overlooked that handy little button until (of
course) after I clicked [Send]. Although I'm not sure about the internals
of that function. Does it go to some URL to find a file similar to what I
was looking for originally or is there some rawer data it goes to?...

Just curious. Either way, now I've got two sources to go to if I'm missing
a comet.
