Hi James!
Yes, I agree, but that is why I mentioned it. I was saying that the
tutorial was just like the reference... But I found in the original Python 25
download from Active Python and the Python.org site is several beginner
tutorials which I am reading now.
I was just mentioning to Phil and document writers to have a nice clear way
of learning when using docs.
Phil could have on his first page the reference to the beginners books and
maybe the download. The Learning Programming I am reading now I downloaded it
so I have a book I can reference using links, which is perfect for me being
sightless.
So I will read through this slowly to get a better understanding of the
words used all the time in docs.
Take care, Bruce

I would like to comment that I find the pygame documentation to be a
great reference. Sure, it is not a good tutorial for users who don't
know the language, but it is a great reference.
Tutorial and documentation reference are two different things-- they
should be well crosslinked of course, but they don't need to be the same
thing.
