Okay, I think I'm on the same page with you so far.  Tomorrow I'll
send Caroline the e-mail address where I can be reached; weekly
e-mails should be no problem.  

My computer has a Windows XP operating system.  I've downloaded Apache
(the Windows Installer package, apache_2.0.49_win32-x86-no_ssl.msi),
PHP (php_4.3.6-Win32), and MySQL (mysql-4.0.18-win), but haven't
installed any of these yet.  I'll likely need some guidance to do so.
 Also, how do I access the FA server (or do I need to)?

Thanks Paul.
