Good Morning Mark:
 Between Mark S and I banging our heads together, I now have the TV-Guide
working. I had to fudge a bit with the ISP stuff 'cause I'm on a DSL line
and permanently connected to the 'net. I'm going to work on the announcement
of tv shows, and if that doesn't work I'll send you the files you wanted.
 Thanks for the offer to help.
Don
