| I've done it before but for the life of me I can't remember how. I want to
overlap several rectangles, select them all and end up (through some
function/keystroke/effect?) with only a single outline of all the combined
rectangles. What do I do?

Window>Pathfinder - in the Pathifinder palette (which should come up
combined with Align and Transform) choose the first "button" on the
left - Merge - it will have a tiny symbol of two shapes making one.
Cheers! : )

Forgot to mention - make sure you "Expand" the shapes - click the far
right "Expand" button. Otherwise, you won't necessarily like what you
see! : )
