Thanks Jim.  I believe that my Olympus is the DS50.  What I would like to do 
is to be able to make a simple sound recording.  I would like to have some 
of my basic instructions on recordings, but there are modifications that I 
sometimes have to add.  Also, I am thinking that rather than e-mailing a 
written informational message as I usually do, it might be interesting to be 
able to send a recording as an attachment that everybody could just open and 
play.  Most folks have Windows Media Player and/or Winamp.  I also  have 
CDEx, so I think I could convert the file to an MP3 if I needed to do that. 
Whatever I do, it needs to be easily accessible, as I am working with a 
variety of skill levels.  So much of what I send out is strictly 
informational, and I thought that instead of the same old thing, I would 
introduce a little variety (smile!)  I got the idea after looking around on 
the blindcooltech pod casting site to find out more about system access to 
go as you had suggested.  After listening to several pod casts to see what 
they were like, I figured that if they could do it, I could too.
