Bruce,
Thanks for posting the files and the instructions. That was a big
help and much appreciated.
It was easy to follow your directions, and I am up and running with NP+

I will just add the extra keywords as I run into them for now.
Funny about the /* and * / operators. That must be a bug since
half the languages they support use them.
Best regards,
Dennis
