Thanks Jim - I'll have to check thru my old emails to see if that info did
get to me. Naturally I'll get back to everyone if I have any success -
actually I forgot to mention that mid year I am to fulfil a lifelong dream
and have one of my plays published in an anthology called `Sydney Theatre
Company Plays Two' with a whole lot of writers who are really prestigious
over here but sadly would not mean a thing to most people on this
listserver (other than Nick Enright who was Oscar - sorry, Auscah -
nominated for `Lorenzo's Oil'). My greatest wish is still to have some
prose published though.
