Thanks, Bob:

This is a big help! I think I'm finally learning how this program operates. It
shouldn't be such a secret, though (see my previous emails on this). I've
already successfully restored my original configurations and data base, and Lee
told me to copy the repeat files. The reason I wanted the repeat files is
because I had a lot of CDs and places in those 15 saved slots which would save
retyping them. Several were extensive IGI references where I had copied the
entire entry.
