Hi List!
Well, you've all read what was stated on this list, &
I wish to add what others have said to me by not
posting it on the list. 
Basicaly, the TR2/3 manual states that the idle should
be set at 500 RPM's. I thought that my TR4/A manual
stated 850, but I checked it to find out that I was
wrong. It's also 500 RPM's.
Others said that running at a lower RPM wouldn't hurt
the engine, as long as Oil pressure was up. 
One person wrote that some people (I gather at a club
meeting or so), will have a contest to see 'How low
can you go!'. Remember we are STILL talking about
engine idle speed. :>0
Thanks for everyones input, whiched helped me find out
a correction in my running of my engine's RPM's.
