Thank you for the reply, Robert. Unfortunately I am completly clueless 
when it comes to "git" and how to use it.   I've spent the last 3 hours 
trying to discover how to get the "newest .24-fixes" from git.

How do I fine the "real name" for "newest .24-fixes"; how do I determine 
where they are and how to get them from there to my computer;

I would be eternally greatful if you would  show me the git options etc. 
that ar needed to do the simple task of getting  "newest .24-fixes  to 
my computer.

Thank you
Gary
