In any case, Mary's revision, with TOCs, of Tony Woozley's Customization and
Programming Manual is now available at my website:

Thanks, Gerald!

Just a reminder about including URLs in email: many of us have
communications programs that allow launching the browser to load the
page referred to, but only if it's a "well-formed" URL. Some browsers
are more forgiving than others, but still:

1) including the http:// (or ftp://) at the beginning (as Gerald did
above) is usually required for the communications program to see it as a
URL.

2) A final (sentence) period may seem to be part of the URL, and may
defeat loading the page (dread 404 error). That's what I ran into in
this case--removing the period solves the problem.

3) If brackets or parentheses surround the URL, those are generally
benignly ignored by the communications program, and they forestall other
punctuation used in the email sentence. So, this would be fine:
         <http://www.bluffton.edu/~schlabachg/nb>.
So would this:
        < http://www.bluffton.edu/~schlabachg/nb/>.

Thanks again, Gerald!
