Re: What to do about multiple pcgs/collections of combis

Thanks for bringing that up, Wayne.  I had intended to mention 
leaving one bank reserved for gathering combis (or programs) to 
create your own "Favorites" or "Development" bank.  I have MOSS as 
well, but as with you I tend to prefer using Bank F for compiling my 
work.  I have used the C to D (or vice versa) set-up so that I can 
toggle back and forth between a template combi and an in-progress one.

Good call on that.
Cheers,
