Hi Greg Aikens,
I don't know. That time I heard it say HTML, and
Control+Option+Shift+ arrow just beeped again. It got stuck up there in
the title at one point. Will this actually read a post to you ? Is it
supposed to?
I have to put it down for the night. Timer to feed the animals and
me.
Thanks,
April
