[Rhodes22-list] 10% registration fee.

[Rob Granger]

Thanks Chris:

I understand what you are saying (I won't work for free either).  I guess I
should have been more direct.  So here is a better worded question...

How does one register?   Is there a form?  Do I send a HIN ?  A copy of the
bill of sale?  along with the money?

...  Thanks in advance
