Hello John!! Thanks for the response. This is good information and works
just fine on a Mac.... the interesting this with creating a notebook this
way is that (at least for me) NotebookClose[questions] works just fine,
but trying to close the notebook from the file menu doesn't! Thanks for
the help, that will work nicely!
Sincerely,
Tom De Vries
