[WriteLog] another problem

[Courtney Judd]

you the MAN Gary! That solved the problem! Personally, I don't like 
docking or letting the computer dictate what is going to happen. With 
two 22 in. monitors I have plenty of real estate to set up exactly what 
windows go where and the size that  want. I have the fonts set up on 
most of the windows to a fairly large size as my eyes just don't work as 
well as they used to. Going this Wednesday for cataract surgery on my 
right eye and the other a month later. Thanks again, Cort K4WI
