Hi Sylvia,

internet access. And my computer will be going into storage tomorrow.

I do try to define things, because I sometimes make up my own terms or
misuse existing terms or because not everybody reading it will know the
terms.

The reason I haven't said much is because I don't know enough about
incorporation in general to figure out how it works in 'Yemls. When/if I
come up with anything less vague, I'll definitely let you know, when I can.
