Hi Lacey & Karl,
What are the implications for our functionality the 2 months Tabby is on
leave (and recall that could start any time now though she plans to be
in Tu-Thurs next week)?  Don't we need to get Lacey in baboon-friendly
mode?

Hello All,
   So it turns out I lack a baboon friendly environment on my foxpro, 
and getting it is like pulling teeth.  After speaking with Karl, it 
seems it may be best to wait and have Tabby run it using her baboon 
friendly foxpro next week when she gets back in.  Tabby does this sound 
reasonable?  Sorry to everyone for holding up this phase... I'm just 
beginning to think my whole computer is becoming very un-baboon
friendly. 

Have a good afternoon,
Cheers,
Lacey
