[Tutor] Newbie Anxiety

[Terry Kemmerer]

I want to thank everyone for their responses. This has help tremendously
to ease my mind. Thanks! 

Branching in the program, is actually my real anxiety, as I have been
feeling the void, (maybe 
that should be WITHDRAWALS!) as I am working my way through How To Think
Like a Computer 
Scientists..... 

By the way, I REALLY LIKE THE BOOK! 

--However, your recommended discussion comparing against basic is going
to be very helpful in 
orientating me! 

Basic was my only language (although we went through several versions)
and I haven't written 
a line for almost 20 years, so, I am very rusty as it is.

Oops, so long since I looked at that version...
Its actually the Branching topic that discusses GOTO.
