There are several others as well, just look one level up.

Hi Bob,

Thanks. Yes, I know about that. It's not the lack of a manual that is my problem right now, but the sheer mass of information available!

It's a bit of a curse to already know a bit about this, I think. I kind of know what's going on, and then I stumble or get stuck on the least little thing.

I'll tell you about one other time: I am keying in a program from the archive, and I'm more than half way through and I come upon the instruction E4. I get totally stumped, because I'm thinking somehow it is a hexadecimal byte! How do I enter that? I totally did not get that it really was the keys EEX 4 until a day or two later, when I remembered that EEX 4 would show up on the display as 1E4, but someone had gone back in and saved a byte off the instruction. BAH!

Anyway, I am having a good time with it all, learning it all over again. Thank goodness there is an understanding community here that I can ask my embarrassing questions!
