Hi Steph,

You don't have to apologize for posting here; the issue hasn't been 
settled yet. With all his generosity and his disdain for Yahoo, Vern 
himself realizes that the issues surrounding a possible move aren't 
to be taken lightly. If the stakes were simply technical, many of us 
would have jumped into Vern's paradise by now. But it took four 
years to reach a membership of 700; risking it by pulling up stakes 
isn't easy. A bunch of us, including Zilla, have been trying to find 
a way to solve the moderator-related problems here, at least for the 
sake of our interim situation. People are well-aware of the special 
nature of this group.

If you're using the function to copy an entire preset kit to an 
entire user kit (it's not for copying part of a preset kit to a user 
kit), and no change is registering, you could well have a bug. I 
don't remember whether you have the XpressII or I, but a factory 
preset with the II cures all sorts of difficulties.
