Hi Bill....I am confused on this file....it is wanting to save as an Internet Web
page and I cannot over-write the "add_mpec.hee" file in Guide because I cannot pull
that up as a FILE TYPE on my save function.
Should we save this first as TEXT file and then attempt to over-write the .hee file
extension?
Please advise....I have messed up my MPC updates for comets attempting to get this to
work.
