Andy, Thanks for the info.
One of the things I noticed very early on as I was trying to work all this out by myself is that the 5i25 card is never mentioned in the documentation. I see all kinds of examples etc. for 5i20 and other cards but 5i25 seems to be the red headed step child of documentation. I don't know why this is the case unless the 5i25 didn't exist when the docs were written or if it was not popular enough or if maybe the docs writer didn't have one on hand to play with. I full well realize that if I already fully understood hm2 the lack of 5i25 info would not be a problem but at this time my only "window" into hm2 is the 5i25 and 7i78. In my little world that's all there is!
