Hi Art, I'd be happy to integrate any manual changes that are clearly worded up and with instructions on where it should go. Unfortunately I have been extremely busy the past two weeks and will be the next week or two as well at my job and have been devoting my little free time to compositional work, so don't have time to come up with wording myself at the moment. If you can send me some text though I'd be happy to put it in. steven On 2/14/06, Art Hunkins wrote: > Thanks for the clarifications, Istvan. All is well now with my XP > installation from .zip.
