This comment isn't directed at anybody in
particular......
While there certainly are those that do not
appear to do their homework before asking a question on this forum, please
don't assume that everybody is trying to take the easy way out when asking a
question. Some folks just naturally pick up on things faster than others
do. To the nonprogrammer, the manual can appear a bit confusing and/or
overwhelming. What's easy for some is not necessarily easy for
all. This forum is a resource that should be available to anybody with a
question, without fear of being belittled for doing so. If a question
appears "to easy" for a response, than igonore it If someone is willing
to help out, and there are many of those folks on this forum (a big thanks to
all of you), than they'll take care of it. I realize it may clutter up
the forum, but the bottom line is unless you have a way of weeding out the
phonies from those with legitimate request for help, than you have to take the
good with the bad. It never hurts to help somebody.

Fair enough re more complicated things, . . . but running a
scan/exploration on only 1 WL (via AA->apply to)? Come on, this IS
clearly described in the manual, and is something one should not have
to ask here IFF you read the manual.
And for all clarity: I was
also a non-programmer newcomer once. But
at least I spend time going
through the manual to get the basics,
something a growing number of
newbies don't seem to bother with.
Again: compliments to all experts
out there who are more tolerant
than I am.

It would have answered this very basic question.
