If you are seriously having trouble with "land mines"... please post
requests for help until you are better able to use the software.
Giving up would only be your loss.
I'm sure the folks at Google & @Last are frustrated when they see posts
that put their software in a negative light. Especially when the
reasons can be resolved.
