Hi and welcome to OCF Keith,
I will only answer your PS.
The best place to start is always with your own post on Introduce Yourself Forum then select New Topic and away you go.
You may even want to copy and paste some of this one to get an answer to your questions.
Look forward to seeing your own post there wink
Cheers
Gabriele
