Re: [IUG] Re: toplogo.html file

[John Creech <John dot Creech at cwu dot EDU>]

Thank you very much, Paula.  I just tried what you said and see the 
problem.  And thank you Steve Bollinger and Ed Seedhouse for also helping 
me out.  I'll keep at it and see what I can get.  I spoke with the 
helpdesk last week and they described this as a "novel" approach but said 
I *might* be ok.  More test to follow.  Thanks again.
