Richard. Thanks for the input.. I have been involved in past discussions where other Posters misinterpreted what I Posted simply we were comparing 'apples & oranges' so to speak. I realize not everyone uses chessbase, and its functions and terminology may mean something different to them. Without a baseline as a guide; without complete understanding of what I am writing, it just causes controversy and long threads. I'm trying to take this one step at a time to avoid this. OK? Thanks, Chan
