No, you're not missing a thing.  I just need to know exactly where to put the 
line you sent me.  The word "content" is mentioned a few times in the script 
and I'm not a programmer, remember?  Could you please indicate exactly where 
you would put the line you sent me?  I'm sure you are taking for granted that 
I know more than I seem, but I don't.  I'm a newbie at this and have to have 
my nose put down into it before I understand.  Where should I put the line?

Thanks!

Tim
