Hi Tom,

They're certainly the right instructions.  It looks like he fixed the
problem, but that's one of the great advantages of having the software.  I
didn't know that when I got it, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover
that I could access all the menu settings.  With the software, I was even
able to link memory groups together, which I couldn't have done any other
way.  Technology is wonderful when you can get it to work for you, but not
when you have to work for it.
