I just didn't want to stoop that low and regress to a former rev.'s appearance. I mean, after all, this is supposed to be an improvement, isn't it? Mark Hommel, Ph.D., P.E.

I don't have 6.1 installed, but try /MSTART,UTIL,1 to get the "old look". If that works, try the other commands as well. Please let me know whether that works.
