RSTLIST Digest - 8 Dec 2008 to 26 Feb 2009 (#2009-1)

[Andrew Potter]

Linda,

More readable indeed.  The Attempto parser makes some demands of the text 
that requires me to undo a few of your improvements.  For example, if/then 
statements must be constructed as if ... then.....  Even so, I am getting 
various warnings from the parser, so I'll need to wortk that out.

Thanks,
Andrew
