My Conclusions

[Nicholas Cole]

David,

I've read most of your emails about this, and I don't see any
description of the command you have entered or the error you are
getting.

Trying to diagnose "it doesn't work" error reports is a little like
trying to type blind: you might get it right, but you'll probably just
frustrate anyone trying to read what you've written.  The standard way
to report errors is:

1. What are you trying to do?

2. What command(s) did you enter exactly?

3. What did you expect to see?

4. What did you actually see?

So far, I can only see the answer to question 1.

N.
