Hi Bill,

i'm planning to make a suggestion of mode (4). It will be in addition or
instead of (3) and will avoid those issues we touched.
But i can't do it earlier than Saturday evening.

Of course i did read your website before posting this, don't know why i
asked that question about your design this way though.

Herbert
