[Tig] Powergrade on the DaVinci

[Mithun D'Souza]

Hi everyone
First of all, thanks to Bob and Kevin for replying. Really appreciate it.

I guess i messed up in assuming that the Powergrade would serve the purpose
that I intended for it. Honestly, i was just assigning a certain value to
the word "power". heh, my bad.
I am guessing i'll figure out a way to put it to good use once i am more
familiar with the system.

Among other things though, since Kevin did mention about the memory vsr's
and saving to a config file, is there anyway that i can append an existing
list of 26, like add just a few grade options from an older config file into
the existing grade config? That way, I can juggle between my more
interesting options by saving them all in a certain config and recalling and
appending my existing list with just the few that i think will do me justice
in the current grade.

BTW, thanks again for the awesome support.
You guys are truely inspirational and recieving responses from people i've
looked upto for many years is just incredible I must add.

Warm regards
Mithun D'Souza
