RE: [emergency-msg] Update: Will post Revision 011 before meeting

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Thanks Patti,

This is pretty much what I have been doing, with the exception that I 
have kept the redline going in parallel, so as not to have to do it 
in one big operation at the end. However, I wasn't aware of Word 
getting "stuck" in track changes mode, except in practice of course, 
when I yell at the ether "G--D----%$3##0*&! Word!!!!"

I am uploading both versions of 011 now.

Cheers, ;-)
Rex
