Yes, I do.  I must have been unclear on the what the point of my question 
was, so let me try to clarify.  I knew RH is known as a "yom tov" (and a 
"mikra kodesh"), but didn't know it was known as a "chag".  While I had 
no issue with Artscroll's having said we say "gut yom tov" on RH, I 
wondered about their having said we say "chag sameach".
