[Papyrus-L] migrating to Sente

[Anne Leader]

Thanks Dave.

I am exploring finding a "classic" Mac, but no luck so far.  As for creating
an output format, I'm happy to do that but don't know how.  I have looked in
the workbook/manual but either I am looking in the wrong place or don't
understand what I'm looking at.  If you have one handy, that would be super.
