Hi Steve, What I do is to select the tracks I want then hit "command G" to get in to the groups dialogue. I usually select the "edit/mix group option which is the pt default. If you haven't been in to the groups dialogue I could walk you through it if you want. I'm on the east coast of the USA if you want to chat by phone. :) Talk soon Chuck
