Wayne,
Whenever I book a hotel room, I ask the concierge to make certain a 
copy of the Toast Manual is put in the top drawer near the bedside 
table. If what I asked had been in the manual I would have found it. 
Actually I just did what I set out to do and it works. I have copied 
the AIFF files in the Video Pane. I figured if one could insert a sound 
track one could put an audio file. There is the menu and all the audio 
files and I can play it on my DVD player on my surround sound system. 
Fortunately because I am an amateur I always want to do things that 
should not be done. In this case it worked. is there a down side to 
what I did?
