Comment: "Thanks to both answerers. Each answer solves one half of the puzzle. I would've liked to choose both answers, but since I have to choose only one, I just went by the earlier post. "

For the purposes of the glossary which is a tool used by many ProZians, it is recommended that you change the word "provide" to "provideD" (with "d" at the end). Thanks.
