Sure that sounds like a good plan. I was planning on taking the proof luke
provided yesterday, and trying to speed it up by using an Array() as he
suggested instead of nested [i][j] for loops. Should I try connecting the
module or making the proof modification first? And thank you again for your
extreme generosity in offering to help, and in all the help you've given me so
far :)
