  Dear Art

  Oops! my mistake.  One third of 13 would be less than 5 pages, but info
from Chuck's actual homepage downloads to more than 16 pages.  I have just
printed out all those sections again:  Instructions, Early Binding,
Preparsed Words, Characters, Source Code (about source being all there is
in CF, not the actual code), Homekeys, Status, Philosophy, In Case of
Difficulty, User Guide, Programmers Guide.  Sorry, I was judging from
memory - but it now appears that Chuck has already written more than a 13
page manual.  So should some of us revise our proposed contribution
upward - say to 130?
