Missed the Quizzes - Rats

[Nancy Palmquist]

Ken,

I like the abbreviations and it makes it easier to remember, but for 
some reason some of these I forget are even there.

No one got it yet.  Richard was right it has something to do with Print 
- hence the @P  part.

But remember you also have @PM @PX @PY @PZ that do not relate to printing.
