Thanks, Steve, that helps.  A quick follow up question or two, if you 
don't mind...

So, then, if I end up building the proverbial dead-nuts neutral 
curve, I can simply use one curve (I guess it would show the same 
name in both places in the GUI)...and say, set the blending at 50%?  
Or maybe I should rephrase it by asking...is there anytime one would 
normally just use one curve? 

"but is there any way to see the effect the toning slider in QTR is 
having on the image?"

Understand about printing the step wedges...but I guess I haven't 
come across the "softproofing technique outlined".  I haven't 
downloaded QTR as yet, so if this is contained in the read me file or 
something, no need to recite it as I can easily look it up myself.  
However, if this is technique is outlined someplace else, I'd 
appreaciate a pointer to it.

Thanks again,
