Leonard and Ken had questions about whether it was proper to use NM
Query.  The bottom line answer is most definitely.  I am surprised that
someone recommended to Leonard *not* to use NMQUERY in 4.0.  I would be
interested in why that was recommended.
 
(of course the other interesting question I have is why is CM Query sent
as the 'default' and not NM?  Hmm?)
