Carol, I meant no insult to children. I just thought they could benefit from a basic structure which they could then add to. Not everyone is good at designing hierarchies. It's something you have to learn. My own mother has not really mastered the idea of hierarchical file systems. (Dad leaves the computing to Mom). My wife, when asked where walnuts could be found in the supermarket, answered "In the Nut Section." The answer I was looking for would have been "In the Baking aisle."
