What a great July 4th post! Bobby comes through again. I have the handbook for this program if anyone's interested and I can figure out how to post a PDF.

Can anyone help me to post a pdf? I've tried as an attachment and as a separate topic and nothing seems to happen. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
