Mike. Sorry about the ‘r’. You’ll note ‘r’ is right next to the ‘e’ on the QWERTY keyboard. I'm afraid I've done that a few times recently. I’ve spent another hour looking at Art 292, and I can see no direct corelation between the two diagrams. There’s too much upside down and back to front about the situations. I even tried going over the diagram in ink and turning the paper upside down to get a mirror image, but I still couldn’t make it work. I think there comes a time when you have to say it’s not the readers job to correct the authors poor instruction, poor technical proof reading, or possible errors in typesetting. If you’ve got a method that does work, use that instead. DaveP
