I've never had a problem with TMG and have been totally satisfied. It has
alot of the things that FR was going to implement.

I think you should make sure you're getting the output correct with what we
gone over so far. When you feel comfortable with that and the output is Ok then
we'll add some roles. It should take that much time to add the roles later
because the basic sentences will be there. You're really not going to change the
memo just add a role. But since you had trouble at the outset its probably
better not to do it all at once <g>
