Thank you so much for saying what I have been reluctant to say, Chuck. As another "newbie", I find I spend a lot of time trying to decipher some messages and just end up deleting them. I'm computer literate but TMG is so incredible in its capabilities that it's taking a long time to absorb it all, esp. without a manual to refer to. I spend a lot of time going back and forth to the Help files, which aren't the easiest to understand. I try to read every message in the hopes I can remember the information and if I know it is particularly important, I have a genealogy keeper in my local folders to which I can refer back, which I have found very useful.

I am new to this list so I do not know all of the acronym's used by "older"
users. I think that before you use acronyms in a message you first identify
it, there are many CDs i.e. Compact Disk, Certificate of Deposit, Citation
Detail, etc. It took me a while to find that you were talking about the
latter, by that time I had lost the intent of the original question. Having
a military background where they make acronyms of acronyms it can get
confusing until everyone gets on the same page. ;-)

Thanks,
