way to go Rick!!  Just when I think I have it you come along in another
response with just a bit more information that sends me off contemplating
the uneasy thought that I don't really have it all.. at least not
completely.  The idea of a tutorial is an excellant move.  May I humbly
suggest that you include some Do's and Do Not Do's in your tutorial... like
the FB manuals did in some other topics.  And, if you're really in a good
mood, try "If you want to do this, then do it this way.." kinds of examples.

I have been reading your responses for quite some time on various subjects
and I am amazed that you take the time to give examples to re-enforce your
point.  Please consider that a compliment and build on it as you develop
your tutorial.
