You're most welcome.  That makes it all worthwhile.  I too have been
introducing my kids to various programs on our "obsolete" platforms -
like Polymorph's excellent drawing program.  Today I suggested that we
start some programming lessons, and they sound very excited about
that.  A gentle introduction with Applesoft is in order!  I don't
think we'll jump right into Pascal, like Ding Wen Chean did,
though. :-)

It's all very selfish, really - I just do the stuff I want.  I'm glad
others happen to want it too.

Thanks for the kind words.  I'm not even sure where that idea came
from.  After having done it a few (hundred) times, I can't imagine why
anyone would be mystified by it. :-)
