Robert,
I posted an update, however it does not include any suggestions that you've
posted here. That update was written late last night and I just ran across
this msg.
I will attempt to 'test' as you say below.
BUT....
as of now, no matter what the outcome of my testing.....
..... memory leakage, no leakage.....
IS THERE ANY ANSWER TO THESE ISSUES in your opinion?
Something to allow fairly trouble-free browsing.
Thanks again so very much for your interest and time here,
-z
