No problem.. but you really should learn to accept help when it is given in good
faith.. If you still don't understand what to do after help is given, then a
polite request for more detailed help would be in order. I am glad you did get
the detailed instructions you apparently needed. I still think the tutorial link
I posted might also be of help.
