Digital BW, The Print

David and Ernst,

A great smile of delight has spread across my face as I read this. 
No, as a matter of fact I haven't tried that before, in fact it didn't
even occur to me.  I will definitely experiment further with it.

I thought my post might help someone else, and it turns out it helped
me!  But of course this sort of tip is the very reason I subscribe to
this group.  Thanks both of you for the idea.
