I have obtained and hope to work with a computer program that determines 
characteristics of various gases under different variables.  I hope to 
use the program to determine how much helium will expand/contract in an 
airship as the craft changes its altitude and temperatures.
I have read a bit on gases, but am stuck fully understanding the meaning 
of the following:
        A). a liquid vapour boundary
        B). single phase region
        C). a saturated vapour
        D). a saturated liquid
I would appreciate a down to earth explanation of these terms; as my 
education is limited.
        Am I correct in assumming that a saturated vapour is actually 
what most of us call a gas?

Thankyou for your help.
