The info about the parts is there, but there's verylittle that tells you how to assemble them. I still think that whoever'sresponsible for it should be horsewhipped and their cat should be shaved.Thanks a lot for trying to help, John.Glenn-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
