HI Lissi,
You just keep at it and one of these days you will be the one answering
questions for the newbie! I remember when I started, gees, trying to get the
concepts of cut, copy and paste down, LOL:) Like I have told many people who
are a little frustrated with computers when they start. The real key is to
stay with it and in time you will have it down.

Dear Katie,
It does help. Thank you. One of these days I may actually know a thing or
two about computers. And thank you for scanning the Christmas book for me.
I'll post my long synopsis, soon as I think it's in the collection, now.
Always with love,
Lissi
