Thanks, Curly. I really swear, though, that I've stopped the alarm with
the code in the past. Just a coincidence?
I know I needed to read the manual, but it was in my car and I honestly
didn't want to open my door again because I figured I'd trigger the
alarm once more. Then the neighbors were really going to get me. I knew
someone in cyber space would help me
