Many thanks to Frederic Bouvier, Christian Mayer and bass pumped (?!) for their responses giving valuable pointers toward a solution to my problem.
It seems there may be a bit more work than I imagined to bridge the gap between executing the basic program file and actually becoming airborne in daylight; my impetuosity may have carried me away a bit! One thing, though: The following two warning messages have come upin command windows at various points of my experimentation aimed to get airborne: "Basic package check failed. Please u/g to version 0.9.9". I of course am working on that version already. "........ WARNING: Legacy engine definition in YAS in configuration file. Please fix." Should I be concerned about these at this stage? I'm off now to read the manual more carefully: I hope I don't have to bother the experts in this list again, but, be warned, it's not unlikely. =|;-) Much gratitude, ******************** John Talbot Melbourne, Australia ******************** ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
