Our Gerald tends to come off as brusque sometimes. <smile> Gerald, it does
not hurt if we want to answer people's questions.

Yes, you did it correctly.
Gerald likes to have people be independent and look up
things on their own, and it is true that one learns
better that way--and you can copy and save the
instructions on to your desktop or in a folder.
I tend to appreciate short cuts myself and answer
people's questions--though when my children were
younger I made them look up things for themselves.
Here's some instructions that I had copied and saved.
Hope they help
