I posted my opinion directly to Bob earlier, but I did have a follow-on
issue. I have a roster of quattro fans who are in the S.F. Bay Area. My
procedure is that you are entitled to receive a copy of the roster after
you have provided your information to it. I think that this is an appro-
priate means of control. The problem with the help list is that other
than reading the help list it is not possible to have an example of the
info contained therein. Perhaps Bob could add a help list entry form
button to those who do not know the password.
We have discussed setting up a web page for the QCNCNV. Is there a good
reference for establishing web pages?
