Ron, you must learn to be more scientific about these questions: Look for
the third alternative: The "upwrite" was VERY LARGE. In fact, it was so
large that Newton decided to write it up. UP, as in HIGH. So there was 
plenty of room underneath, and Newton was writing. He did not record
what Les was doing, so we can merely surmise that he was doing less.
