Hi Mark,

I've come up with a solution based on some stuff
Steve VanVoorst sent me, and it works nicely, but I'm
going to try to incorporate several different methods
as sample code elsewhere, probably as demos, so do
send me what you used.  Each of these approaches is
a valid solution under some circumstances.  In "the Book",
Steve's approach just happens to work well.

BTW, another Mark on the List suggested that I put out
feelers for a better name, to which I certainly have no
aversion.  Any ideas guys!  "FB^3 - ??????".  It isn't really
a book, though I've got all the Printing working great in
the latest beta - not yet sent to most. It's really almost
like a discovery game, discovering how FB^3 does things.

Now that you can click on an item in the TOC and have
that Text displayed, and a few other navigational changes,
at the behest of one of my UK buddies, I think it's looking
pretty good.  I will send out the next beta to all who asked
for the previous one, unless you tell me "don't send".  If
you didn't get beta 0.7 or a pre-beta 0.8, you'll have let me
know.  Beta 0.9 will be going out by Friday.  It's close to
being Version 1.0 which will follow in less than two weeks.

TIA, to everyone

Joe Wilkins
