Jim - I read your re -write and I would say that is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. I
also agree with your proposal to take the rest of the detail and link it to the main
document. I think adding a few pictures from the power point to your chapter is also a very
good idea and will make the document more interesting. Thanks very much for getting this
done so quickly.
