I almost forgot....

One of the nice things about using the LEGO CD is how easy it is to use the FIND
command to find a set number within a chapter.

To use it in the PDF files, click on the EDIT button (at the top) and select
FIND.  When entering a set number, ALWAYS include the "#" (pound sign).

For example if you are looking for LEGO WHEELS PARTS PACK set 400, your find
search with be like this "#400".

I decided early on that every single LEGO set number in the CD would start with
the "#"... so every single occurrence of say the 235 Garage Parts Pack will have
"#235".  And there are NEVER any spaces between the "#" and the set number.

That way if you are looking for set number "1" or set number "2", you will
always get a good hit, and no page numbers or other false hits.  Of course, you
may not get the #1 or #2 set you are looking for (since TLG produced duplicate
set numbers quite frequently from 1955-79), but you will always get a set
number.  You may have to do a repeat FIND in that case, since many chapters
(such as the model set chapters) do indeed have 2 different sets under the same
set number.

Cheers,
