Bob.. Thanks for the links you sent me...re Military History etc...also. I have noticed some little symbols next to my Hankins threads, (on the page where all the names of threads are) what are they for, one is a padlock, the other is a question mark, and the third I cant quite make out...I hope that does not mean I'm "scarey" after all the "hoo-harr_ I caused with not understanding what I was doing..(nice girl..not bright at times) when it comes to computers... I'm still in the learning process, but getting there......thanks,,,, ;D
