This procedure is recommended in the tutorial that goes with it. Doesn't notes have a similar feature? If not, it should. Copying someone elses sequence file seems dangerous - if you don't subscribe to exactly the same groups it may not help. I do support the notion that a user should own his own sequencing information (e.g. in his on directory). It makes things so much simpler. Mark
