Hi Richard and all,
I just received a message from Karen Robinson saying that I was free to send a
copy
of her article to anyone that requested it. It is a pdf file, most easily read
with
the Adobe reader. It is 73K in size. I've sent her an invitation to join the
list.
I think she would enjoy it too.

Hello,
Could you explain how the finger dial works?
Thanks,
Richard
