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

Thanks for the tip. I use Wayne's method of cherry
picking combis and placing them in F as well....but I
might want MOSS too...the software sounds like a great
place to stay organized - I will give it a go.

BTW - does anyone know if Karma programs will work on
the M3? I think I saw something over at the Labs site
but do not remember the answer.
