	I finally decided to buy a nice PSU to use as power for 
experiments and my Modular I'm building, but I'm having trouble 
figuring how to set it up for +-15V:
	I got it for $45 US at Mouser, it's a 597-AA15-0.8 by 
International Power (DC Power Supplies)... It came with a piece of 
paper from IP that gives instructions on stuff like remote sense and 
specs of the thing. I saw on the unit itself I needed to cut 2 
jumpers to get +-15V from it (did that), and that on the transformer 
I need to connect jumpers 1&3, 2&4, so I guess I should do that with 
a rather low gauge wire and heat-shrink the xformer connections, 
right?... It then says to put the AC at jumpers 1 and 4, is there a 
specific order to do that in, or can either prong wire go to either 
jumper?... Next it says I need a "max current/fuse rating" of .75A, 
so where does that go in the overall circuit from my outlet to 
xformer?...
	Then on the circuit board there are 7 wire connectors (-OUT, 
-S (with +S, COM, -S put together between these), +S, +OUT) what are 
these for?... (I think the middle 3 are for remote sense, whatever 
that is) What do I do with each one, cause there's not really 
anything about those on the paper?... Another question is how to get 
a ground connection; or is that simply a connection to the middle 3rd 
prong on my outlet?...
	I just hope I can use this thing and that I didn't simply 
waste $45, cause that would completly suck @$$!!!!!... Thx is you can 
help me cause I have little experience with AC, and probly am just 
asking some dumb questions up there in that "paragraph", if that's 
what I want to call it...
