Thanks for that explanation, Mayrie. I'll leave them for newbies in the future, 
unless they've been on the list for a long time. In fact, I'll release the one 
I took. (It's 846 pages. That should give someone plenty of practice (smile). 
It was submitted Aug.2011. That's less than a year ago--not too long. (The 
title is BTC Celestal Harmonies and it sounds very interesting.
