Robert,

Thanks! I felt bad about the question, because reading on in to a couple 
of the posts following, I figured it out, and realized I DID know what 
the abbreviation meant. The "incremental" threw me off a bit. Thanks for 
the link. I'd love to go check out that link, and will likely do so 
later today.

Thank again for your help, as always. I'm endlessly grateful for the 
helpfulness of the folk on this list.
