Nope, you aren't missing anything but the file. As alluded to in my 
message, there are several files that aren't on the site yet because 
they hadn't been uploaded before the server crashed. And right now, 
there is a problem with FTP access so I can't upload the new files. 
There is another way to upload individual files one at a time, but it 
is slower and more cumbersome. However, I may resort to that if I can't 
get a hold of my web host and get the FTP straightened out. If the 
problem is password related, which has happened before, I can't use the 
slow method either.

I have sent you (Selene) a copy of this file in RTF format.

I think I know which message Selene is referring to. She has mentioned 
it several times and I moved one of her messages from an older file 
when creating this one. I have pasted it below.
