Thanks HAS. I appreciate this. R, John Trivia question: The United Space Ship Enterprise's second captain was James T. Kirk. Who was her first captain? Extra credit: What does the "T" in Kirk's name stand for? The first captain (other than Robert April who served for a short time as Enterprise's captain during her shakedown cruise) to command Enterprise after its commissioning was Christopher Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter in the dual episode entitled "Menagerie," which was cobbled together from scenes taken here and there from the pilot, called "The Cage." The "T" in James "T." Kirk stands for "Tiberias." Macintosh Scripting Systems <[log in to unmask]> wrote on 11/15/2006 07:17:09 AM: > John A.M.
