Ooooh, my bad for contextually misleading use of terminology.
That's what I get for trying to cook a sausage casserole and read forums at the same time.
Also my bad for wearing my Windows NT cap and spouting misconstrued information in an Amiga environment.
I best go sit facing the corner of the lounge wearing my dunce cap instead, eating sausage casserole and think long and hard about prioritisation in future and accept my inability to multitask effectivity without errors of submissions. heh.
"I take it you won't be contacting the guy then"
No.
