How did you set the alarm and how did you get to where you could set the alarm. I can think of several uses I would have for it if it works the way I would like for it to work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kitty Litter" <n8kl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 6:39 AM Subject: [bookport] caution about using the alarm : To see what would happen I set the alarm for file and external beep.

The only cure was a reset. I think I'll pass on the alarm. : I'm wondering how practical it is.
