    Let me know of any updates!

I'm sorry, I posted several replies to this thread last night from Safari on my Mac. This morning I can't see them on my iPad, but they're still on the Mac. I just restarted the Mac and now they've disappeared there, too. Sounds like a post for Apple Discussions ...

Thanks again for your help, and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, bah, humbug etc.
