Have you tried to read the help available from the bottom-left button?
thank you for your reply. yes. i had read the help. sometimes, for me at
least,
i find i often have more questions at that point. thank you for your
patience,
and your suggestions. i could certainly help by hiring myself out to field
test documentation! :c) not sure if my uncertainty merits a bug report,
exactly.

that makes sense. i certainly don't mind applying the changes, as a rule,
especially if they add value to an already valuable distribution. my newbie
