RE: TERM in X

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Ron,

Well, you've gotta understand that I'm just a programmer; I am a terrible
user.  I need concise requests to do something, backed up with information
like you gave us.  However, you didn't make a request for something to be
changed, and you didn't say what the information was for... so I have no
idea what you want me to do with what you submitted.

Confused,

Harold
