Hi Bill,
Thanks for that information. I need to go back to my scanning program and
enlarge the image from there. I cannot read it as it is presently displayed.

This may already be in the works; but when you publish the manual for GenBox
could you include some graphics as well as text? I find it easier to
understand with both.

You are wonderful to personally respond, thanks again.
Beth
