Thanks a lot, John for your help.
I had some mail problems so I'm not sure you got my last mail (I didn't
see it in the mailing list), if you did - I'm sorry, please ignore this
one.
I've been trying to change the scrips but I'm not sure how to do it, I
will appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you very much,
Yifat.
