Re: Auto-ottava Scheme script problems

[David Bellows]

Sorry everyone, it's been too long since I've used the list and forgot
to reply to all. Below is a message sent earlier indicating that

Thanks everyone,
Dave Bellows

absolutely no idea what's going on in that script so I am very
grateful that you took the time to figure this out.

Sincerely,
Dave Bellows
