Go to the file you want to link to TMG as an exhibit and click "Properties."
That will tell you what the DOS name is that will be used to link it to TMG.
I *think* they are numbered in the order in which they are added to your
computer. When I want to add something as an exhibit that I just downloaded
or scanned all I need do is add the last file in the place and name I want.

My guess, and it's ONLY a guess, is that, if we don't have it by New Year's
2002 (optimistic<g>), we will have it by the end of February.
