problem with calendar tutorial

[Mark Smith]

Hi Mark!

I said only recently on this list, that one day all people will be  
called Mark. I didn't let on that all people would be called Mark  
Smith, as I felt that these things should be done in stages - but I  
see the plan is further along than I'd thought!

Still, welcome to the list, and you'll find that even those who  
stubbornly hold on to their weird non-mark-smith names are very  
helpful and knowledgeable.

The routine I have for adding things to groups is:
1. Select the item to be added - in this case your image, and copy or  
cut it
2. Deselect "Select Grouped" in the toolbar
3. Select your group
4. Select "Edit Group" in the toolbar
5. Paste

Best,

Mark Smith
