Hi Leah,

I just talked with Jeanne and she said that it would be great if you 
could pass this along to Susan.  The discrepancies sound like something 
that does warrant a check by Susan and Raph (Raph is the field team 
member responsible for updating the Psions with the appropriate 
programs).  Hopefully it is easily corrected or maybe even not 
important.  Either way, it would be great to have it resolved while 
Susan is at camp.

Thanks,
Catherine
