Tomasz,
I received help from a board member who resolved most of my questions.Please do not take this the wrong way,but I think your level of brillaince(and marcins) sometimes makes it very difficult for someone new at Ami...I think you give people too much credit,and that is where our differences lay.When other board memebrs help,they do it in a very logical,step by step process.
You refer me to sections i have already read and give me too much credit.I sometimes dont think you guys understand the plight of a non programmer.That is my "issue" with the manual.You also need to realise that you intimidate some users and they will not express themselves fully.I have worked for brilliant people such as yourself and enjoy your personality.
I mean you no disrespect,but I stand by what I say.My best teachers in my arts have rarely been the most naturaly talented.The gifted have things a bit easier.You are obviously gifted,but not everyone is as fortunate.What is simple to you,may be a tremndous challenge to others...
peace
Allan
