Anne,

Sorry to hear about the stroke. You know it is quite possible that if you
keep working at it you will get back the speed you used to have. It's
amazing how the brain is capable of using other areas when one area is
damaged. It just takes time and work, and eventually it can happen.

I've gotten some good suggestions here and I appreciate them.

Stewart
