My understanding is that the one time pad is the sheet of material (may
not be paper) with the key groups used for one message, not the
collection of sheets (pad). Or it could be something like a silk scarf
with blocks of key groups in which case the "one time pad" is one of
the blocks of key groupson the scarf. In my previous submission I way
have refereed to different one-time-pads as a "pad" when I should have
called the collection of sheets as something like "an on-time-pad group".
Hope this clears up what is overloaded terminology.
