Wow-wee is that refreshing gang, thanks. I do recognize that I could have done more of my own homework here, but: as a neophyte programmer, that is endlessly true (of an endless array of topics -- I think otherwise known as an "infinite regress"), and it is always nice to find something spelled out in a clear, concise manner. Then I can move on quickly to the next conundrum, rather than having to investigate some vague insinuation at every step, potentially wasting other people's time in the process. > May we have a real name please to credit in the ChangeLog entry?
