Here is my basic outline. It should help you get moving. It doesn't entirely hold your hand. To a degree you have to already have you system laid out and know what you want.
Plus docs links/locations so you let me know what you think and what else you would have like to see in it. Stephen PS Sorry about the .doc format. I did use openoffice (2.0) so unless you had 2.0 or I put it in version 1.1 format and you had openoffice, I would have been wasting my time and had to convert it again. I figure there are more programs that import .doc. I can resend it in a better format if anyone is opposed.
