Re: a few XyWrite kindergarten questions

It's actually a delicious manual. Very smart - set in a thick binder with
grey exterior. With the shiny colored tabbed chapters, you can index it how
you like in the three-holed binder, and can even add your own filler notes
and click them right along inside. Mine is so marked with little arrow
stickies it's to the point of the ridiculous. I just enjoy reading it for
some reason. Alas, so sad, but true...
