I understand that much, and I have at least one file of preamble
"chatter" per section. Some sections have 4 or 5 preamble
mumblings that offer the user///reader a clue re my thinking.
One thing I never forgot was that we all take away a slightly
different set of concepts from what we read or see on the tube.
Even from a painting or photo. My chatter/mumblings are only my
ideas, my guidelines. I was surprised when my daughter drew
something completely different from one thing I wrote.

Thanks for the pointer. I googled Reynolds' website and see that
his book is available thru amazon.com. this opens a whole new
field of opportunity... .
