    Matthias,

    My apologies for the tardy reply. I'll remove the fetchall command from
    my rc file and see how things work. I should have said earlier that I
    had just updated to 6.3.2 that morning but hadn't tried it yet...I just
    had this urge to write something after several weeks of
    frustration!  ;-)

    With best regards,

    Pete
