Re: V3 Format Comments

Rony,
I have completed the work the URL and AutoType.

I have not done the Creation Time. I will get to it in the next day or so.

I have not looked a the help files yet.

I have marked some further functions for deletion //TODO Dave. Could you 
check them and give me the go ahead to remove.
