[Ham-Computers] Toshiba Finalizing

[Dan Violette]

Glad you got it.  I tried to step it from what the manual showed.  Of course
I meant a smiley with the exclamation point in reading the manual comment.
Hard to figure how the menus step through even when reading the manual.
Really have to actually do it.

I 'tried' to read the manual ... Did not seem to help!

The problem turned out to be I was pressing the indicated button too many
times. Sometimes it was already on the first option, so instead of pressing
the down button 'four' times, it should have been three.

In another instance they has the buttons side by side instead of one over
the other. No way I could know this!

Thanks for your patience and assistance. Both are much appreciated.
