ok, so i got the above to work when i ran it on a more powerful
machine. thanks for the advice.  the problem i'm having now is in
defining the boundary conditions.  what i'd like is to have a circular
'source' at which the concentration is always constant, but i don't
know about any of the other boundaries.  i guess i could say that the
concentration is zero at infinity.  any advice on how to implement
these boundary conditions??

many thanks,
dan
