I'm brand new to TMG, attended Bob Velke's
workshop a few weeks ago sponsored by RUG
of Arlington VA. I'm making pretty good progress,
getting the feel of navigating around and creating
an elementary structure of individuals to be
"fleshed out" as I gain expertise and confidence.
One thing that has me perplexed is the set-up
of the Master Source List. Up until now I've just
been entering information in the "memo" areas
because I want to set up the MSL in the most
useful way possible. It's disappointing that the
MSL in the TMG "sample" does not utilize most
of the features, so really gives little help. I don't
know if I'm not being specific enough, or if I'm
being too specific.

Here follows the way I might set it up. I know that
this is VERY basic, and I'll appreciate any and all
comments, advice, or suggestions about the subject.

Thanks!
