I've been meaning to mail them about that ever since I started using
it. This discussion, and hearing from someone who agrees, has
encouraged me to go ahead and do it (maybe tonight). I guess there's a
chance that they may have just not really thought about it enough. I
mean some of us are actually "losing" a bunch of money for our
interest in electronics, much less having the profits to have our
tools pay for themselves.

I may also politely suggest that they outsource a writer to finally
redo that god awful manual. I'm sure they get that one all the time.
Take Care,
