Hey, you're right - some experimenting showed  that if I choose the 
lowest mode first, then re-run XFdrake again, and choose the next 
higher mode, then again for the next higher...etc. it works. 
Choosing the highest mode first, and working your way down, 
does not. Anything higher than the last  mode entered is wiped 
out.  Too bad the programmer never heard of checkboxes ;)

Irv
