Gerry,

Funny thing, I had just found the "M" manual setting
of my A80 Powershot with the help of the user guide
about 15 minutes prior to opening your letter. I see
exactly what you're talking about now ;^)) If the wea-
ther permits and I'm not too tired, I'm thinking about setting up 
tonight and trying to get some spark pics
to add to the webpage. I know everyone that's  fol-
lowing the progress of my Green Monster webpage
is ready to see some sparks and so am I  ;^))
