Why would I "offer" anything to someone that's stated (in their original
post) that they "know how to program"?  If you have the 4229 then you
have two programmable relays on board you can use to accomplish what you
want.  RTFM!!!

RTFM and quit bein' such a cry baby!  :-)  Sheesh... If you don't know
what you're doing, then say so.  Don't post "I know how to program the
3000" when you obviously don't.  Everything Roland posted is from the
freekin' manual.
