The X was done after I sent the log. The one I sent did have his call. I
understand that point.
By the way , I see no way to remove the X, that certainly should be
available. I probably am missing something.

Well as I said, the module needs a lot of work. I did later realize I could
have made it required, NOT something the user should have to do.

By the way, I can't prove it but I am ALMOST CERTAIN  that I DID put in a
