This is all new to me I have begged for help in decoding these graphics,
and noone has been able to tell me how it's done.  I read your comments
above and am just as confused as ever.  Please is there anyone out there
there who has the patience to send me the step by step instructions for
decoding these graphics. Laugh at me call me stupid, I don't care I just
want help.
