Well taken Tim. In fact I have read most of the things there. The problem with all of these tutorials is that they don't put the whole picture in front of you. I have a pretty good general idea of what's going on with the things I try. My problem is there are too many if's and wholes to fill. I do exactly how they ask you but then it doesn't work because something else is preventing it from working. I generally ask the questions b/c I'm trying to find out if there are other methods of doing it other than what's in the tutorial. Most of the things I've tried in there somehow doesn't succeed. I know this one was a little too much and I have to admit, I could have found it b/c I've seen it before. I left my book elsewhere and couldn't find it on the web. So yes you're correct but I've been doing this all along. Things are as easy as the tutorial makes it to be. If you're used to the operating system then yes, if not no. --- Tim McMillen <timcm@umich.edu> > wrote: > >Hi, I reallize you are trying to learn, but you are repeatedly asking >questions that are answered on the website.
