Thanks, Bruce; the help is greatly appreciated. I don't, in fact, have an
e-mail address right now, but that will probably change soon.
 It's the darndest thing. It seems that I can read all his posts to virtually
EVRYONE else, but mail "directly" from one of us to the other just never gets
anywhere. Well, almost never, and especially in the last few months. I wonder
if a key BBS has dropped out of the routing somewhere? I don't have trouble
reaching other users, and he apparently can do the same, but we are terra
incognita to each other's systems.

        I've an announcement to make.  I'm back!  Did anybody notice I
        was gone?  Grin.  I took a Study Sabbatical from this echo.  I'm
        ready to roll now, though.  Shawn? Arne?  Anybody?  I'm very
        easy to beat, so if you're looking for a real challenge, don't
        look at me, but I am learning.  Please write!  My addresses are
        below, or you can reply here, although my direct Internet
        address is much more reliable.  I promise I won't leave again
