Colin, I have just returned from being away from the keyboard (eeeeek!!!
it all seems so unfamiliar!) I had to look in dejanews to find your

I gather that "font color" isn't really allowed within the pre tag by

When I have applied this newfound version 4 skill to new animations,
I'll post something here in this newsgroup (it's always so refreshing to
see an ontopic post here, don't you think?)
