GL, You're right; "looking in the wrong end of the telescope" is a perfect metaphor for the way I was approaching the problem, as I now see. Your explanation supplements quite nicely what I have been reading in various texts but obviously failing to grasp. That's the value of this list for me-- I can read all the texts I want but without an experienced hand to point out my blunders I'd be doomed to one dead end after another. -JKP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
