Hi Carol.
I was in Glasgow today and purchased an inter-connect cable for both
computers. I'll not get a chance to try this out until early next week as I
have a friend visiting for the weekend, and will probably not get a chance.
to try it out.
I've got a tutorial from Rick from the BCT list and will try my best to
follow this next week.
Best wishes.
Andy.
