	I received a pointer to a recent MacUser - and was able to confirm
	that I must have been thinking of an article I had read in the
	July '88 issue, which explained quite well how to deal with a
	broken key;   however, it did not address the more likely
	problem in the board I am looking at, a broken trace or
	dead chip(s) ...

	I'm nearly sure I read something in a long-ago MacTutot or UG-
	newsletter that addressed that topic ...

	thanks to all who responded - more info when I find it ...

	report on outcome after the hurricane "Gilbert" has hit Texas;
	of course, it's the largest, meanest, badest .... we won't have
	it any other way around here  (watch out Corpus Christi; I think
	your number is up ... I figure it will hit go after the Mac home
	in the Brownsvile-CorpusChristi area ...)
