Hello Philippe and Everyone!
Thank you for this message. I did not see an attached file, Philippe,  
so I have not seen the diagram you wanted to show me  
yet...smile...can you send it again?...

For the sake of all our List members, let me show several  
diagrams...First, here is information on the way we write the right  
hand moving, and the left hand moving...We have a dark arrowhead for  
the right and a light or hollow arrow for the left...continued next  
message...
