(...) The "-" choice is actually helpful in case you hit the wrong key and accidentally give input when you didn't mean to. (Or maybe, like LarryP, you don't ever make misteaks :-) But I use it at least once a day! :) (...) I thought you meant (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yes, that's what I was going for. Obviously not too successfully. :) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
