A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who responded to my plea for help!  These
are the answers I received:  (you guys are SO creative!)

Teresa, Douglas, Anne and Ruth suggested boiling a cup of water in the
microwave and then putting the bread pan in the microwave to let it rise
draft-free!  (I did it and it worked!)

Anne and Sherri suggested putting the bread pan on top of the
refrigerator as heat rises in the room and the refrigerator itself is
warm on the outside.

David and Christian, who have ovens with continuous fans also, suggested
setting the oven to 100 degrees F (40 degrees C) and enclosing the bread
pan in a large polythene bag.  Christian just covers it with a damp
cloth.

Mary suggested using a heating pad set on low and Ellen uses a hot water
bottle next to the bread pan and covered all up.

Margaret, Linda and Sandra suggested covering and putting the breadpan
on top of the clothes dryer when doing a load of laundry.  Margaret said
she'd even heard of putting the covered bread pan inside the previously
used (empty) dryer and using the left-over heat that way.  (Don't write
with any jokes, she beat you to it:  "Puts a different angle to making
rolls.")

Teresa also suggested putting the breadpan, covered, in the smallest
room of the house, closing the door and letting the heat of the furnace
warm up the closed room.

Linda said with her free-standing stove, she puts the bread pan on a
cookie sheet, covers it, and places it on the back burner of the stove
where heat will escape from the back of the oven.

Sue suggested a sunny spot near a window.  Sherry suggested several:  a
shelf over a heater, radiator or stove; a large pan of hot water on the
oven floor; on a rack above a sink full of hot water; in a styrofoam
cooler with a jug of hot water (and also stated that the temperature
should be around 70-80 degrees F).

Celeste said to partially fill the kitchen sink with hot water.  Invert
a glass bowl in the sink and place the breadpan on top of the inverted
bowl.  Then cover the entire sink with a cloth to retain the moisture.

Sandra has placed the covered breadpan in her warm garage.  And to top
it off, Val (who lives here in sunny Florida) suggested putting the
covered bread pan in the car parked outside with the windows rolled up!
(As she warned, "Just don't forget about it and let someone drive off
with it!"  Ha!)  These are all great ideas and VERY creative--which we
have to be in our situations!  Thanks to all!

Working together,
Renee' in so. Florida
