Hi Uwe, I found the right click method of "trying" to add new entries. All I wanted to do was add MICROS to DIGITAL as the manaul had outlined it. All it would do is give me an error saying an entry was already there. I emailed the guy who wrote the package last week and never received any response about the problems I was having.
The package has a lot of potential, but I would rather deal with known problems on the tools I have rather than deal with a whole new set of problems and no help from the author. I can't afford to spend money and not really know whether or not the package was going to be supported. Anything can be said, but action gets my attention...
