Thanks!

I have used AM using procedures similar to what you described
and have received good reports. I do admit to not being an "AM'er"
so my keydown time was much much shorter than what would have
required a fan.

Thanks for filling me in on the "out of date" document. I am sure
TT will give the update task all the attention that it deserves.
