No other code. Ninja-IDE tacked the "Execution Successful" at the end if 
the error message. Dont know why.

Interesting that you ran the code successfully. I have tried to run the 
code in both Ninja and at the command line and got the  exact same error 
message.

A note: If you could, please post your replies to the list. If you 
don't, it either breaks the thread or ends up sending a copy to my 
personal email address. I am assuming that your email client gives you 
that choice. If not, I'm not sure how you would assure that the proper 
way happens. I use the icedove (thunderbird) mail client and the choice 
is a drop down list at the top of the mail editor page.

Thanks for your reply.
