Ah, okay. Thanks Bill. That's really good news, for sure. I'm seeing other
messages coming in now too, about needing a loop.

Yes, I thought it was running fast as well, but have not (yet) removed a

equipped. I will hunt down a 60 WPM gear set, so that I can be a little
more part of the functioning community!

All the best,
Tim
