Brian,

You clearly know an awful lot more about Intel computers and their OS's than
I do.  I'm humbled by your attention to my question, but when it comes to
playing with the registry, that's where I definitely chicken out.

Thanks hugely for your advice, but I'm really more at home with DOS - and
considering my original question, I'm not _that_ at home there either.

So once again, thanks a million. I'll drop yopu a line and let you know when
I eventually get it working.

MikeC.
