Dear Larry,
After all, computer is a mindless material phenomena. But a good friend of ours; especially when it cooperates well with cst4. few days before someone asked me about some points on vipassana. I said wait a minute, let me search the pitaka: the word files as i could not install the CSCD. It was a research paper so the exact data together with reference page numbers were required. And it was not easy to find the informations; especially when toggling between the commentaries and sub commentaries is impossible. I was so helpless; but i managed to provide my slow help. Wherever there is will, a way will come out.
Now i have the confidence back.

May You be Well and Happy
Bhante Sobhana
