I have documentation on MEL. Did you read this book ? The book comes across as though you are calling me stupid ? ;-) A ten plus year old book still costs almost $60, and the kindle is the same. I suppose I should know a little C++ if I get this book. I highly doubt Marcus was trying to insult your intelligence by suggesting a book. He is one of the most helpful members of this group. The intent, as I saw it, was to offer you ways to improve your foundation in programming. We are all happy to help with questions, but we can't always teach from scratch when there are tons of resources to get a baseline in Mel or python. But if you ask very clear detailed questions, you will get clear and detailed answers (hopefully) In the meantime, instead of me waiting to buy a book, if I buy the book, someone willing to give me a clue on what I'm doing wrong, yes I may ask novice questions, I do appreciate the help.
