    First, the PAPER is in Gedit. It is written for me. With the 
exception of 9. all that is there has been tested by me and it works 
fine. I'm sorry that your the protector of the WORLD from bad writing.

    But one thing your really good at rday is damming someones writing 
without telling them what is wrong with it. If there is something wrong 
with 9. what is it? Most of 9. I took out of info dd.
