Sorry Mathew,
       For one reason or another I had not been able to find the online 
tutorial for ffmped. I found it.  After I spend some time reading I will 
get back  if there are still some things I can't work out.    I was 
getting one of those pages that says the page I was looking for does not 
exist. It's back on line now.
                                        Thanks Doug
