Thanks for the encouragement, Ed. I started to do it but most of my
macros didn’t work and I really don’t want to do it without them. Roice
understands the issue involving non-orientable puzzles but the fixes
(keeping track of orientation) appear more difficult than he’s ready to
take on at the moment.

Best,
-Melinda
