> Thanks, Chris. I was going to say I had no idea there was a user-manual---until I took a look at the pdf version. In fact, I had a hard copy of the book, but got rid of it because I couldn't understand it. I went looking for it but found that, alas, I have indeed gotten rid of it. May have to get myself another copy. The pdf is too maddening to navigate around in.

Just discovered I hadn't completely gotten rid of it. I'm into a serious "simplifying" jag. Stuff to the dumpster. Stuff in boxes to be taken to Salvation Army, etc. I reorganizing stuff in one box I found the book at the bottom of the box.

Thumbing through it it doesn't strike me as incomprehenisible as it did before. Maybe I've learned something. Maybe now I can learn from the book.
