True, that's one thing I do like about this list. The way functions sorta get
bounced
around until they are tiny and effective as can be. ;') I think I may have
learned
quite a bit just watching people working on these little functions (which
usually do not
matter to me at the time but the TECHNIQUE does). But, yes, I think you are
doing a
pretty good job. Almost any tutorial should probably start off as simplistic as
possible so as to catch everybody. Its just unfortunate that so many never seem
to get
beyond that stage! <g>

Hmm, yes, I see. Well, I do like what has come so far. I suppose I'm clamoring
for the
rules thingies because I am not sure I know how to function with such stuff. In
other
words, trying to add a personal deficit to the tutorial. <g> Anyways, great
work,
Irv. Keep it up. Laters,
