Hello Albert,
Thanks for the info.  Believe it or not I am considering getting CA6.  I guess
the programmers should make a patch for their programs but I'm not going to hold
my breath.  I complained about the shortcommings of one top program in setting
time controls about 3 years ago but the problem is still there.
Jim
