Glad to help.  I am happy to do some more, however, I must admit, I am confused by the system.  Perhaps you could point me to a thread that clarifies, but my understanding now is that all TO DO items in this forum are available for check out and proof reading, unless they are already checked out.  I noticed that some of the TO DO items are quite old.  Do they still need to be edited? Is there a guideline somewhere? 

For example, from Oct.:  http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,10881.0.html

Does this still need to be done?

I don't want to double up, but I don't want to not be of whatever use I might be just because I'm not clear on what I could be doing.

Thanks.

t17169,

Thanks!  I will ask rdb to contact you as he is coordinating the proof-reading of the Help Screens and that is what is most urgent to do.
