No problem. I've just never seen anyone type their way through a problem like
that. I often talk through them exactly that way, but it did get a bit
disjointed there, and since I'm a _really_ slow typist, I can't fathom doing
that.

Some of the best technicians and engineers I worked with over the years had no
formal edocation or training. Experience counts for quite a lot.

Not really, with 15-30 minutes a day to play at best, playing on line was never
really an option to me, since I'd never be able to play actively with a group.
And Gemstone being the gem that it is, since it makes the game a bit easier in
some ways that matter to me especially (I have one functional hand for fine
motor skills due to my own disability.) ther was never really any competition.

AFAICT, PlugY doesn't enable the 1.10/11 runewords in 1.09, although if it did
that would be cool too. If on the other hand you're talking about the Gemstone
rune words, I thought you would have tried them by now. Hmmm. I think I'll go
look up a 'newer' rune word and make it, since I can reload my stash from my
backup if it doesn't work right.

You're very welcome.
