Sean, Not for sure Brent may be using an Amiga instead of Win type computer(s).

The only thing I see on this android phone to comment about is that I sometimes
see a large PLUS SIGN instead of the Call Area when a Call Sign is shown in the
text he forwards for us to read 

Never posted about this before.

If You Moderete this echo I am in big trouble.
