Hi, Kevin,

Thanks for the reply!  You're right.  I should have said what platform I
was using (Linux).  I managed to get the configuration worked out
thanks to a combination of information I got from Don Beethe and some
additional information on-line.  I just couldn't see the forest for
the tree thanks to a 12-hour day.  Don got me pointed in the right
direction.  I replied to the list so the changes I made should be available.

Thanks, again, to everyone who responded!
