[Spooks] one time pad definition

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.
