Inka,

I'm an "old" hand at it. If you don't find any local help I may be able to give you a
helping hand (as well as others on the list).  If you like you can call me at one of
the numbers listed in my sig. line below.  There is also a lot of information available
at the EM Sciences web site.  I don't have the site address at hand but could dig it up
if needed.
