Dude, you're awesome!! Thanks very much for your input. I will try your suggestions once I get home. Also, I will check out the console program. Just from the name, I assumed that you were referring to the terminal, but silly me, if you were talking about the terminal, you would have said terminal. Thanks once more!! I will probably thank you like 50 more times before I get everything fixed seeing as I feel like a complete reject when it comes to this stuff (hence the n00b questions ) I will leave you alone for the time being until I get home to try your suggestions. Take care!
