[fcb-l] NLS Players:

[Shelley Justice]

Doug,
Thank you bunches and more bunches. I didn't know you could cycle through 
books that way. It wasn't part of the user's guide on my machine. This is 
almost too good to be true. I have had my best luck by transferring the 
files without unzipping the book, but like you said, everyone has their way 
of doing things.

Shelley J.
