Thank you very much for the guidance.  The questions follow, with the hope that I've provided enough information. Exercise 3 of the ArcGIS Desktop Spatial Analysis Tutorial is located here: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/spatial-analyst/tutorial/exercise-3-finding-a-site-for-a-new-school.htm I printed the exercise so I could write notes on it.  The page numbers refer to the printed document. 1.  When the tutorial in exercise 3, page 8,  mentions finding “locations close to recreation sites” in connection with “deriving distance from recreation sites”, I'm assuming that the "from" point is the recreation site point but what is the "to" point? 2.  Same question for schools' locations.  I'm assuming the answers are the same, but am not sure. 3.

Hello Robert, Thanks for the response.  I did try clicking the Restore button and then looking for the usual resizing icons, but there are none there.  I guess will have to have at the registry as you offered. Many thanks, Bill Cole ... View more

Still getting use to the GeoNet Community ... I clicked Yes on Helpful [which it very much was]; is that the same as correct?  Many thanks. ... View more

Rebecca, thanks very much for the information.  There are so many ways to do the same thing in ArcGIS, that for those of us who don't do this full-time, confusion sometimes sets in.  I have managed to get my overarching problem solved and now have some time to refine an approach and learn a bit more about how to do things more elegantly and with less effort.  It was kind of you to spend time preparing an answer.  ...
