i just checked it out and i'm pretty sure that's what i need to end up doing. so i guess having only one terminal wasn't a problem at all. it actually simplifies it a little. well now that i know this, i thank everyone for their help and patience. I'll have some more questions later, but at least i can knock this out of the way now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
