Being an employee didn't help, actually I think it lessened my chances. Most Tech Ref manuals DO NOT contain programming info, but I haven't seen one for the WP-2. Several people on the net have inquired about it, so if anyone has gotten one they might be able to shed some light. It's too bad that Tandy won't help, I think they should provide you with the info, even if they do charge a little for copying fees or whatever. Did you speak with someone in Ft. Worth? Often, more can be accomplished with them through the mail (US). Especially middle mgt and up because of the numbers of calls they recieve daily. I hope you can get the info you are seeking and I think WE should provide it. -- +------------------------------------------------+ + Mail to: garee@evax.utarl.edu or call Scott at + + Radio Shack 01-8323 Arlington, TX 817-649-2518 + + If I can't help you, you're in it really deep! +
