[sc34wg3] Possible TMRM issue

[Patrick Durusau]

Jack,

I think the point of confusion was your spelling of "legend" (correct) 
as "legand" (incorrect).

Odd that I should notice the error since I think Newcomb had to correct 
my spelling of compel in various forms with any number of "l"s quite 
often. I guess I just happen to like the letter "l". ;-)

Hope you are having a great day!
