Ahem!
 First of all thanks for the whole lot of you who replied.  The facts are
 somewhat clearer now but....I think I may have caused a bit of a knot with
 my last message.  I do not know Naoko Sensei's address, if I did, I'd be
 sending her an electronic card right now... I'm gonna try to scour the net
 for clues of her addie or at least Shoeisha's (she's working there now.)
 I'll keep you posted. And by the way, thanks again.
