Thanks, the learning curve on this thing is nearly an asymptote...just getting it to shut up was a task...I actually had to open the book!

I remember the first time I drove one, I needed a car at work for a meeting and the only one left in fleet was a Prius. I got a two minute brief from someone and sped to the meeting. When it was over I went to the car, put the fob thing in the slot pressed start and nothing happened. Tried every combination and finally had to call the office and the fleet person calmly asked, "Did you put your foot on the brake when you pushed start?" Bingo!
