Mark & Leonard,
Thank you for your response, and I apologize for bringing this up one week
later.
I've read and reread the PDF specs, but I'm still confused on what it means
for kids to have various types, and what data type these "keys" refer to.
How do I check for these types? I apologize if the question seems
elementary, but nothing is working at this point.
Thank you again for your help.
