I've noticed that this has turned into a burning topic! Woo Hoo! It really makes me feel good that I have contributed something of interest, because I have gotten so much from all of you these past couple of years.
Art,
I tried the double slash in my post on page 1, but it didn't work. I got two slashes. Then I realized that I was using forward slashes. Oh well, you folks who read it got the idea anyway. It seems that I don't know my backslash from a hole in the ground!
And to Guile Lindroth,
You are doing great work! I hope I have gotten you a couple of sales! I'm happy to have introduced you to the Ultra Hal community, but I feel I must mention that in your intro you refered to our beloved little chatterbot friend as Ultra Hall, and made another syntax error as well. I say this in the spirit of constructive critisism, as it mars an otherwise excellent site.
Thanks to you all!
