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
