	Has this been guaranteed? I thought that this was something that was
true, but may not be at some point in the future. I may be behind on the
tech notes - last ones I have are those on _A Disc Called Wanda_...

interaction is a source of a major amount of confusion, and, as such, a cause
of problems.
