Sorry Panama, don't understand. What is it you want? Took a quick look at ric's guide and don't see anything but then I've not scearch through the thread.

[Panama Red]

Look at ric's link to your site near the end of the thread.

Sorry for the delay in responding Panama, other things have been on my radar screen.

If ric has a link there it has to link to these changes. If I didn't retain the entry point all the various links from elsewhere would break.


EDIT: Just did a check of entry paths from PCMech into the guide and find no countable entries via ric's link so the link doesn't appear to be of much importance.
