Hi, Max et al.:


 ??? ? With SSH established:


git clone git at github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git


 ??? ? Worked.


 ????? I had tried something like "git clone 
git at github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git" before, but I either did not have 
that exact syntax or I tried that before I had SSH.


 ????? Thanks again,
 ????? Spencer Graves
