help with something unique?

[Karen Lewellen]

oh my gosh

Tim, you are an absolute prince!
I appreciate your not only providing the file, but the extra wisdom.  You 
met my need, and I am feeling allot more informed about how such things 
might be managed, at least from a podcast standpoint.
You even anticipated my need by telling me that  one can set a time for 
that program to download scheduled podcasts at a particular time.
Firmly information I can use in future.
Thanks richly from me, and likely Dolores too.  she is a personal friend 
and I cannot wait to tell her I have an mp3 of the reading!
Thanks again,
Karen
