Well I finally dug up the ole notebook and picked it out. Unfortunately all I have is a name. The name is Ramon Lull Since the book was in latin, very old and so forth I guess I thought I'd never check it out. Apparently Ramon was a popular person in the sciences, black magic and those sort of things. His name appears with other terms like shamans in my notebook. I hope that helps. mark -- edwards@unix.macc.wisc.edu {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!edwards UW-Madison, 1210 West Dayton St., Madison WI 53706
