Hello Sarah.  Merry Christmas!

Sorry, I should have thought to include information of older GUIs as well.  The
book works fine in GUI8 (all revisions) and I have not tested GUI7 (any
revision.)

I will try GUI7 and report back.  It is my understand, however, that GUIs older
than series 8 do not properly handle (ignore?) some of the new features/markings
in the later books.  As I have not tested this personally, I am only reporting
on what I have 'heard.'  I know the blue markings are a problem for GUI6
revisions, but I am unclear on GUI7.

Happy Holidays,

-elc.
