RE: [ebxml-jc] ebXML XML.org Homework for JC

I tried to update the Knowledge Base, but ran into a problem. Following Carol's directions in the email of Jan 5 I got to step 3 select "book page" and could not find it. I thought I would spend time this weekend trying to figure it out. I ran out of time yesterday.
