Sure, Gary. ... I'll do it right now.

The first e-mail will contain  all of the text documentation files as 
attachments, and the second will have an attachment with Steve's audio 
tutorial.

Let me know if they come through ok, and sorry about the computer crash. 
... Happens to the best of us, to be sure.
