[Skimmertalk] couple Skimmer questions

[Pete Smith]

Bill, I have no clue about your second question.  As for the first, 
Allow Skimmed Commands must be enabled if you want your Skimmer to feed 
spots via Aggregator to the Reverse Beacon Network.

The list of permitted commands that can be sent to Skimmer is listed in 
the Help file for Skimmer.
