Hi, Sieghard. My mistake. When I went online to look up the Audible documentation, I saw a file for Versions 1.9.2 and older, which I avoided. I assumed that another file I found relating to the iPhone and iPad app contained the latest help information. This file must also have had to do with the older versions. That'll learn me to assume. <smile>
