Yes I saw this. Looks helpful. I am so limited in knowledge that I am afraid to ask a stupid question.
I was talking to my wife about this software stuff and she says she has 3rd graders designing stuff with their software at school. This is all new to me. I would love to take a class.

I called Jerry thanks. I have the old version of software that does not allow me to receive an image by Jpeg that I draw on paper and scan. One has to draw on their format the image from scratch. I am currently trying to get the home learning addition information. This is a new world for me.
But we have started and the people seem very helpful even though I don't speak their language.

All I can say Gary is good luck. That's a steep hill to climb.

Talked to very nice tech eng service. What I have is too old to up-grade. I could get learning addition for new software but would be counterintuitive. New software runs 6-7 grand so there it is Jerry. Not all old things gain value sorry to here.
