Obviously, the problem doesn't originate with her or McFedries. It's the Alpha art department who don't know which side of a 3.5 inch floppy the write protect tab is on. (Mind you, there *is* the fact that nobody caught it ...) Aside from that, this is a pretty good guide. Organizing information in regard to a GUI (graphical user interface) is never easy, and I'm not sure McFedries has it quite right. The information, however, is basically all there; at the user level, at least. (Some background on the .INI files might be nice.) The addition of keyboard procedures for almost all functions is *very* useful. copyright Robert M.
