Hey Valorie, hey all-
Going through the manual pages as I write this. I can't verify their
accuracy because I'm at work, but they read very well. I think this is
some of the best writing I've seen in the manual so far (including
mine). My compliments to your students!
So what's the update on undone pieces of the manual? I've got some free
time coming up this weekend for a change, I could plug away a little
bit.
best-
pete
