Hi David and Leigh,

David, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you last night - I really must 
check my emails more often.
I am still struggling to work out how to post URLs on the mailing list. 
As far as I have worked out
for now. If I copy an URL into a PM Box (addressed to myself) and if I 
then copy and paste that URL
into the Mailing List post it may work - the following example will show 
if it works or not. If it does
not then it is completely back to square one for me.

However there no doubt is a much easier way - I use Thunderbird Email - 
If you could provide me
with any pointers I will be very grateful. - Here goes with the example 
of how it may work for me!

How to Create a Network Share Via Samba Via CLI (Command-line interface 
/ Linux Terminal) - Uncomplicated, Simple and Brief Way!

Wow - from here it looks as though that may work but of course I am 
looking for the easier way.

One thing I noticed David - with that very long Link, at times it worked 
on your example and at
other times it did not! Why I don't know.

Any way David, I am not expecting you to get back to this question until 
Monday at the earliest.

I trust you both had a good weekend.

Best wishes,
Geoff.


I have no idea why.
