OH!!! Sorry. I never looked up! Nor did I pay
attention to your note to E--well, I did read it, but
it didn't sink in.

Thank you  for being patient, gentle person. Now I can
help others.

I never occurred to me that each book would have a
separate URL. Like Lissi, I'm not quite on the
intricacies of how computers work. A computer is like
a car to me--I use/drive it without knowing details as
to how it works--and rely on someone else, like my
husband, to fix what goes wrong--with both machines.
