My two cents worth: Cracking code is easier if you start afresh and have fun immersing yourself for hours in the underlying code paradigm (look for David Stuart near the bottom of the page at http://www.shepcat.com/MysteryCodes.htm ). You can read (and write) fluently when you think in the dialect, or language, terms. The interpreter, documentation, forums, wiki, and fascinating related resources provide an interactive environment, concepts, context and tools for learning the tacit programming dialect. My favorite tool still is the box representation; it is readily available and displays neatly the grammatical structure of a sentence (and can parse better and faster than me).
