Believing it is easy; I just didn’t understand it. Now I understand it a fair bit better, now that I’ve worked the problem in FM Gym. In case anyone else would like to try it out in FM Gym, see http://www.learnabunch.com/FM_Gym/fm_gym_fmg_others.htm Of course, in order to use the file you need to download and install FM Gym itself, which requires a pretty substantial software download (sorry). And if you do try FM Gym, please see the FAQ regarding things like using the Escape key to close a window: http://www.learnabunch.com/FM_Gym/fm_gym_faq.htm#UseEscapeKeyToCloseA_Window And yes, often the pieces really are supposed to be upside-down: http://www.learnabunch.com/FM_Gym/fm_gym_faq.htm#WhyAreThePiecesUpsideDown Cheers, Bruce
