I am very unsure and thought I was headed in the right direction.  The single digits are above each set of numbers but even though it looks right how I typed it for you to read...it doesn't come out that way on the preview.  So for example 0 has the .05 under it.  If you slide all the single digits representing each set of numbers above the decimal numbers.  Hope that part makes sense.  Total should be above the 1.00.  It isn't showing up correctly on the preview for some reason.<BR>\n" );
