3. manually

Zarathusta,

Thanks so much for this lesson.
And a special thanks for letting me know hwere I can go to practice these techniques before I try them out here at TV.

I would be deeply sadden if I were to attempt them here first and ended up messing up this site. LOL

Just my luck I would make things so bad by my ineptitude that I would give everyone some sort of virus. Then everyone would then be sitting at their computers scratching their heads because of my infecteous inability to follow directions. LOL

I'll go over to Tests and Scribbles to where they may be more prepared for John's Jinx. LOL
