This is a bit like asking these two how they know that's their hand on the end of their arm!  ;D

Someday, Gypsyjon, somebody is going to ask a similar question, and you're going to be the one to answer it, and the enquirer will be amazed at your knowledge...

^ Yes, however, it is in PDF format. The link I got it from doesn't work anymore. It is about 13.2MB.

I have the B&W paper one but snagged the color pdf as well.  Sometimes it's just way easier to tell what's what in the color pics.

I found it by google-ing on manuals for RE UCE. So sorry can't remember which site it was on. However it is titled "EXPORT-SERVICE.pdf". Maybe that can help?

Ah, for me it was EXPORT-Manual.pdf, and I tried finding it yesterday. When I did and clicked on the link, it always gave the 404 error. However, to make things easier for everyone, I just uploaded it.  8)

Here's the link - http://www.2shared.com/document/4QWlSgKQ/EXPORT-Manual.html
When it prompts you for a password, put in (lower case) -         enfield
