Okay, Barry, you've got to help me out here. You've asked this question in the 
past, and I've tried to figure out what it was you were referring to, typing my 
fingers blue, but apparently to no effect. It feels like we are worlds apart. 
Well, actually we are, since you're way up there in Kiryat Shmona and I'm way 
down here in the deep desert. But you do write "centre" the way I do - although 
Winnipeg and Toronto ain't that close, either.

So, trying to temporarily neutralize my growing senility and lingering fever, 
I'd like to get to the heart of the matter, for the section you are talking 
about sounds like a promising one for the ETNI site.

When you asked this question in the past, I referred you to "Book Treasure 
Hunts" - www.etni.org/treasurehunts - which are activities created by teachers 
based on different textbooks, but you never responded to this, so I guess 
that's not it. I also referred you to the "Lesson Plans" section - 
www.etni.org/teachers.html - but that also didn't seem to ring a bell.

Now, racking my failing memory, the only thing that I know we used to have, but 
no longer do - as a result of historical developments (both technical and 
otherwise) - is the ETNI Test Bank, which was once on the Maalot server - up 
towards your part of the woods (unlike the "just sand" that we have down here). 
We have not been able to get it back up, so to speak, since it was removed from 
the Maalot server. 

Is the test bank what you are referring to? Hard to know, eh?, when it is no 
longer up there to refer to. One of those Catch 22's. Reminds me of those 
American tourists looking for Igloos in Toronto, but that's another story.

In any case, give us the specifics of what you see in this section. Anyone else 
- feel free to jump in. And maybe we can get something up in the near future.

David
