Re: Abbreviations in FAQ?

Wow! What a response. I got about 20 private responses on what the
abbreviations were. Most everyone refered me to the Scouter application
which lists the abbreviations. One other person though (forget who,
sorry.) refered me to:

ftp://ftp1.scouter.com/usscouts/ScoutDoc/Acronyms/abbrev.doc

which also lists a bunch. For the benefit of those who only have e-mail
access and not Web/FTP access, here is an excerpt:
