I found the material you reference  a few days ago and tried to do what I wanted to do, but found I could not do it by following her instructions--I think she left out some steps and it became confusing in certain parts of her procedure.

If you know of anything else, I'd appreciate it.

And, thanks, for such a prompt response, it's appreciated.

The reference material he pointed to was hard to follow and inaccurate in some places.
