[Tutor] constructing semi-arbitrary functions

["André Walker-Loud <walksloud@gmail.com>"]

OK - I have not seen an email from Peter.
So I looked up the thread online, and see I did not receive half the emails on this thread :O

My first inclination was to blame my mac mavericks mail gmail syncing problem.  but logging into gmail, I see no record of the emails there either.

I currently receive the tutor emails in the digest mode - thought I was paying attention to all the digests - but I seems to have missed many.

I apologize to all those who offered input whose emails I missed - I certainly wasn’t ignoring them.
