I'm so touched by the instant outpouring of help offered. Thanx to all - this will NOT go unappreciated.
Listen - my friend, Jack is very "hip" to technogolgy and has command over email, and text-to-voice scanners and the like. If you have any suggestions that may help him - his email address is:
Panama.Jack1@home.com
Send your suggestions direct to him, and everyone will feel better tomorrow !
Thanx again .... this is wonderful of you.

I think the manual was difficult to scan because of too many graphics. I THINK that's what he said.
