Aloha all,
I am not implying in any way that John's message is not appropriate. I also
have had some difficulty getting straight answers from the JFW tech
support. I just thought that maybe someone on the JFW users list might have
had to use JFW in the same way and they might know something helpful.

If John is a Duxbury user his question is probably appropriate. My experience with the folks at jaws with regard to how it does or does not work in Duxbury, has not been all that helpful. Only we, the folks who use the two together can know what does and does not work.

This particular question sounds like it may be one for the JFW list. Betsy
