One person even looked it up in the dictionary and could not find these symbols. Usually when making guidelines and procedures - symbols, abbreviations or alternate shorter terms are placed in parenthesis after its first usuage in the document, as in "State Coordinator (SC)." Then the shorter version is used (mostly) for the rest of the time it is referenced in that document. That was originally done, but the order of some of its parts was changed around somewhat and these shorter versions are indicated by parenthesis later in the document. Thanks to those that noticed this and passed this on to us to correct. I simply put this at the top of the document. I take full responsibility for the abuse of the English language. I only took the required courses in English composition while I was in college and only received a "B" average grade in grammar type classes. ;) JGW [aka: John G. West] (aka=also known as) <smiling>
