[nabs-l] Textbook Help

[Ashley]

I think i have used this program before, but last time I tried
downloading it, it said something about it being a trial version. So
was not sure if it would be fully functional for the task I am trying
to accomplish. But I will keep that in mind as I will need to try
everything I can think of. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
