Hi,

I'd be happy to add user comments to the sources.
So in a situation like this, it would be great to have
someone stop for a minute or two and writeup
a few lines that might help the next person.  

If you think it would be worth having more details
about how something works, please write up it
and get it onto the Forum.   For example a small
tutorial about creating zams models would be
an excellent addition.

Thanks,
Bill
