Dear Rich,

Maybe OC could provide one page of directions for switching on the most 
common features people ask about?  I could see it in the User Manual or as 
a page on the OC web site.  That way, people who want the features could 
find it, and everybody else could use the user-friendly software just as it 
is.  What do people on this list think of my suggestion?
