Thanks for that info. Barb. I didn't think I was breaking any copyright laws
because I was just quoting some of what the author said in quotes and gave
his name and title of the book.  I only scanned in part of it anyway.  The
rest was typed.  I wont do this again and was just trying to pass on some
useful info. to the people on the list.
