Hi Dan and Group, Many thanks to Dan and others who squared me away on the numbering scheme. It is a little humbling when I consider the dozens of times I have read through the standard. However, on a positive note, I have found that nothing sets a memory like public embarrassment! ;-) Thanks for addressing the less than intelligent questions and take heart in the knowledge that the lessons are learned. I'm sure to come up with others... Best Regards, Dave Spencer Oresis Communications

This and paragraph 15.29 are found under Subpart A - General. In my book, they're on page 615 and 619.
