First, digest-mode members, please use informative subject lines instead of
"Re: Digest" when you respond. Not only we individual-message readers but
also you digest readers when you scan the table of contents want to know what
an article is really about in order to decide which ones to read and which
ones to skip. (That also goes for my fellow individual-message readers who
don't update the subject when they take a thread in a new direction.) Thanks.

On our side, American Express has rules like that: unless the customer shows
up in person and presents the plate for the merchant to compare the signa-
ture, any order placed by phone, mail, or email must be sent to the same name
and address as the bills. AmEx will verify whether the information given to
the merchant matches that in their records or not (if not, they won't tell
the merchant what the billing info is, only which parts do not match; but I
say this based on fifteen-year-old experiences, so I would not be surprised
if they no longer say which parts don't match and just say "sorry" whether
the match is imperfect or totally off). If the merchant goes ahead and ac-
cepts the order despite a mismatch, and the cardholder denies being the cus-
tomer, the merchant is stuck.

Set the deck to REPEAT1 with either the REPEAT key on the remote or the
REPEAT button on the panel. Then STOP, AMS left or |<<, PAUSE, and REW
("<<"). Single-track repeat will make the deck go to the end of the track
as it scans backwards.

You can get into division during playback or play-pause by just pressing AMS.
(Didn't you read the manual? The REPEAT1 trick isn't in there, but this is.)
If you can catch the division point as it passes [and apparently you can,
because you have to on the R30, so that seems to be what you are doing]
and you don't need to rehearse to get the exact point, press AMS to get into
division mode and then press YES to confirm the current point. That's two
keypresses to divide, not "a whole load." Then you'll be playing the next
track and can deleted it. Since using AMS to get to division doesn't change
the default entry point to the edit menu, if the last thing you selected from
the edit menu was track deletion, then when you press MENU/NO again, Erase Tr
will be the first selection presented.
