[drraw-users] v2.2a4 selection criteria and variable expansion

[paul dial]

Between Christophe's and your post I was able to figure out the error of 
my ways.  I changed my base RE to something similar to yours which 
solved one problem.  I was also trying to use the subexpression from my 
base RE in the File RE instead of creating mappings in the template info 
table.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but the server died right after I posted 
and I'm just now getting back to it.

Thanks for the help!
