My frustration and attitude is well placed especially with all the replies I am getting that are saying the same thing. No one has obviously read my email or my questions. I did read the wiki and other various documentation which is how and why I got where I was with it. In my email I did not ask anyone to tell me how to do anything. I asked for clarification on what I had read and what I was understanding. Isn't that the point of these groups and mailing lists?
