Hello Barbara, All, I have actually taken the first three chapters (as well as chapter 14) of the Getting Started guide. I intend to upload them with my proposed changes some time tomorrow. After Jean has reviewed my proposed changes, she may decide to put them back for a second round of reviewing. If I remember correctly Jean is travelling this week so I do not think she will be able to check out my proposed changes for a couple of weeks or so. I was thinking of retracting other chapters, but I will wait a couple of days to give the chance to you guys to get a share of the action ;-) Cheers, Michele
