Hi Milton,
I've had this rejected by the computer demons for some unknown reason, but
I'm going to send it a third time anyway. RR already supplied you with a
definition, I see, but the reason you maybe couldn't find it in a
dictionary is that it should have been spelled "rheology" and is, according
to Funk and Wagnall's, " The study of the properties and behavior of of
flowing substances; the science of flow."

Happy Holidays
