Mike,

Thank-You SO MUCH for your help!  That last bit worked like a charm.

I just have one more question for you.  I see that you mentioned fixing
top-posting twice now.  I have no clue what that means, but should I be
removing something from my email before I send it or something?  I am new to
mailing lists and still learning MythTV, so I would like to be able to be a
participating member of this list and contribute without causing anyone any
problems.  If you have a second to answer this one, I would appreciate it.

Thanks again and thanks in advance,

--Harrison T.
