+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
