I'll be sending off to the list some email messages I replied to from my laptop. Translation: They're in files, need to be copied onto then off of a floppy, and hand-sent to the list. I also intend to send a patch to the "slides.layout" class Real Soon Now. This may come after Thanksgiving, partly before, partly after, or much later. I lost a grandmother last weekend, I have a grandfather facing heart-valve surgery tomorrow, leaving a bereived grandfather down in FL and a grandmother "flipping out" [to quote my aunt] on Long Island. Not to mention my parents, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and brothers, and myself, all grappling with this.... Please be patient. -- John Weiss
