Okay, why don't you go ahead and get it and let me know off list when you
have it, and I'll ask for help at that time.

Thank you, Sharon, but I'll pass on taking this,
particularly after Jake's post.
I'm happy to request the print copy of the book from
the library, and to help you figure out any page or
pages, but it doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd
enjoy doing by myself, not only because if the
problems you describe, which I consider a challenge,
but because it's not the kind of book that I'd be
interested in reading.
BUT--it's going to take me a while to get the book--at
least a week, maybe two, (for complicated reasons that
have to do with where I live). If you want, I'll
request it and then when I have it I'll contact you
offlist and you can do some more work on it with my
help, if you want. Once I get the book, I can keep it
for six weeks (three, then one renewal for 3 weeks).
Let me knkow either onlist or off if you want me to do
that. smile
