Eric;
Thanks! :)

It *was* a serious well intentioned question, I just had no clue what to 
make of the top output. Unix sort of handles things differently than 
Windows memory-wise, and only having had access to older lower powered 
*nix machines previously, I wasn't used to seeing stats such as I 
posted.
The question was answered in the thread though I gotta say.
Your point is well taken however, and your quiet cautionary note is well 
understood. Thanks for taking the time to warn me against stuff like 
this. (It's really hard to begin to know where to start learning some of 
this stuff sometimes!!)

Kind Regards,
