It seems to! I received your message.

Curious that nobody seems to have posted in months (or is it a year or
more?).

One thought, a follow-up about attaching meaning to color: Using the latin
alphabet, programmers (now called developers) take advantage of modern
computer technology and use different colors of words to show syntax in
their programs; they call it "syntax coloring". A related scheme uses
colors in listings to distinguish different file types, such as images,
text, executable code, etc.

I still hope to copy and send on the booklets that teach the ITA, btw. One
of our subscribers was very interested.

My best to all,
