Hey, a question I can handle!

Yes to that--the first that worked the way I wanted it to, anyway.

The tuts, particularly Alan's; the O'Reilly book--but it's a trifle tough
sledding if you don't know why to use the different kinds of collections;
puzzling through the code; asking questions of the tut list.

The tut list.

Lots of chocolate and Coca-Cola ;-)
