Re: PTF's

Dennis,

 I don't recall them getting that specific but in the past it was often 
a Catch-22.   The Groups would say "Do the CUME" first, yet in the 
instructions for the CUME, just before you start it would say "If you 
have any other PTFs do those at this time." I always took that to 
include the groups.  Chicken, Egg, Chicken, Egg....

 My theory also is that since PTFs on the Group often supercede PTFs on 
the CUME why not do those first. That way when the CUME goes on those 
PTFs are skipped as already superceded.  Seeems like it should save time 
and grief to me.
