Don,

SURE, no problem...  God knows I've asked enough others and "stolen"
their events, that my .CFG file looks like a hodpodge from:

	Garnet Bailey
	Mark Gilmore
	Michael David
	Rick Tinker

	and a cast of others no doubt!!!

So, whadda ya want to see?

Oh yes, my .CFG file is a "moving target" or "work in progress".... 
I've been fooling with this stuff for, oh, over a year and a half now
and STILL don't have it all the way I want it!
