Seeing this question again (probably for the nth time) made me actually look at the newby guide. Man, somewhere in there it should have explicit directions on how to search these forums. And I'm not saying that in a mean way at all, but the search feature of these forums is one of the most powerful tools you'll find for answering your questions about SH3.
That said, this is a great community in which people are willing to answer everyones questions with respect--and that's just about as cool as it comes
.
Cheers,
