Rhonda;
I sent them directly to the people so as to not clutter up the list. You
might have noticed, I asked a few to send me their e-mail addresses.

Rhonda;
What is the difference between your list and the one I was
sending out that
Rachelle (I know I have her name wrong), put together. Are yours
additions.
I started reading yours and there are many I had never seen.
Some commands
have 2 ways to do them, are these the second method.
Terry Powers
By the way, I sent copies to the 3 people who asked for copies.
