Hello All,

     I just wanted to say how much I appreciate having the manual in all
it's forms. The html version is really great, I always have it minimized
when I am composing so it is easy to get at when needed, which is a lot. I
prefer the frames version for it's ease of navigation. I downloaded it from
here http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Studio/5746/.
 Thanks to all involved for all the hard work involved in it's upkeep.

Michael
