I am so sorry you feel I have been superficial in my study of your help. I assure you I studied everything carefully and thoroughly. My problem was I couldn't make things happen as they were supposed to in the tutorials and your instructions, but now in retrospect, I see that I was not getting certain points, the most critical was that i had to log into my account before trying to clone. I never saw that instruction anywhere, but that was the critical point. The rest was very clear and thorough. I appreciated the amount of writing and careful work you put into the answer the moment I opened the email.

I am going to restart and this time I expect I can do it without all the pleas for help. :-) _______________________________________________ ImageJ-devel mailing list [email protected] http://imagej.net/mailman/listinfo/imagej-devel
