Hi Jim, Thank you. I have been out sick for the past week (no internet just my phone). But I should be back tomorrow. I have the internationalization text locally on my laptop (transcribed it manually from my phone.) I have made a few tweaks along with a few other updates. Hope to be back at work and have a laptop internet connection tomorrow. Will update the understanding document then. Thanks again.
