Thank you for your reply Milan and for your patience in answering my
'new guy' questions. I am just beginning to study computer
programming. I am beginning with learning Python (on the advice of
several individuals who are advanced coders themselves). Also, I am
working on learning HTML (especially 5.0), and CSS 3. As I become
competent with those languages, I plan on beginning studying PHP and
Qt. I hope that as I gain competency with these languages that I can
apply that knowledge to help extend and improve Evolution even
further. I think that it is a Great Program, but then perhaps I am a
little prejudiced!
Thanks again,
