Thanks for the clarification Bill. I've covered alot of this in the post to
Rick so I won't repeat it here except to say that I know lots of
psychologists who refer to unobservable aspects of a person's control
processes as behaviour as well: things such as thinking, planning,
imagining, and dreaming are regarded by some people as "behaviour".

Cheers,

Tim
