Hello list members: I didn't give them my e-mail address. I went through the
instilation slowly and didn't give my address. I forgot to get rid of the
player window. when installing 5.3c Now that I have 504 I got rid of it
thanks to Chris's instructions. this is a wonderful list for learning
winamp.
