Hello, Steve.  Thank you very much for your response.  Yes, indeed, I read 
the agreement before I started using the beta software for the Book Port. 
Of course, betas are just what APH or GW Micro or any other companies say 
they are--betas.  I did not intend to harshly criticize APH; I was surprised 
that the feature was not usable as I thought it would be usable even up to 
the final release.  Again, thank you for your response.

Mike
