Michael Schutte,
Are you a good teacher or what? Well, that was extremely nice of you to
give
detailed instructions in that tutorial about the usage of Binding
Directory.
Thank you for that. I am really comfortable with the concept of binding
directories, now. Rob, I will follow that redbook and muster as much
information as I can. Another newbie question.../include and /COPY mean the
same thing, right? Also, I was wondering if Michael could put out an
example
for the usage of 'CHAIN' when he is feeling generous about his time.....:)

Thanks,

Jake.
