Hello, Marco!!! Thank you very much for your attention and your offering oh help. Well, I read english more or less (with a good dictionary at hand, of course), but there are some grammatical details that are a bit strange for me. And yes, it would be wonderful to have the translations of many of the commentaries and articles of our group. I don´t know if there are more spanish people here but if this is so, I´m sure I won´t be the only person benefited. Thank you. :) JOA --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, "Monroy, Marco E SI-FSIB" <m.monroy@s...> wrote: > Joa adeptus: > If you need additional help in spanish let me know.
