Kathy,

Just want to express my Thanks! for your comments, which are
snipped below. I've been grappling with the correct usage/spelling
of 'picklist.' My word processor insists it should be two words,
but if I follow your rules, it is a noun and can therefore stay
as one word. Now I can go back and tell my WP a few things.

Thanks again,
