Milan, in an email to me told me I should send the jpgs though the 
list to better explain the problem. I doubted the listserv would 
accept them. I was right. The email was rejected. I have sent the jpgs 
directly to Milan's email account. If he would be so kind as to check 
them out, I still need to resolve this matter.
(please note, I respect the list moderator's decision to reject the 
email. There are unfortunately times when my ability to communicate in 
words, cannot match what I can show.)
