Hi Irv

I was definitely one of those that resisted the change.  My son tried to 
teach me Visual Basic a few years back but I didn't want to write 
programs that way. However now that I have looked at some demos and seen 
how this style hangs together I feel much happier about the differences 
and hope to not be one of those that writes programs to unnerve people.

Thanks for the tips about the methodology
