I can either manually include them or see if I've implemented
mergemap (can't remember), but upon merging these four documents,
do you know if any topic or association merges take place? Also,
I'm not familiar with the *.xtmp and *.xtmm extensions. Hmm?

I should have known Lars Marius' offer couldn't be so simple... :-)

Thanks,

Murray
