No need for you to apologize. ;-) I didn't mean to imply that the link doesn't work, it's just that there's no way to link directly to the document. FWIW, I tried http://as400service.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/18300213 and got a "non-existent document" error. Is it just me? Or does it seem ludicrous to not be able to do this?
