	Thank you for helping me learn this better.  It's obvious I'm not
French (just ask Olivier) so I just do what I can and hope babblefish
comes somewhat close in it's translations.  Unfortunately the only place
I've had to learn French is movies, and you know hos good Hollywood is
at keeping things authentic.  I will need to practice the correct
phrases.  Again, thanks.
