Hey... Although I will certainly follow through with the various advice offered to me in this thread - both privately and publicly - I think that I may have found /exactly/ what this bucko was looking for in the way of an intro to Icon/Unicon, namely:
"Icon Programming for Humanists", by Alan D. Corré All you Icon/Unicon newbies lurking on this list, the above is a /must/ read IMHO. Once I get clued-in to and comfortable with "the lay of the land" so to speak, I can use the manuals to further flesh out those topics that I need a deeper understanding of. As an example, it was news to me that I could do: icont - -x and enter a "test" procedure called from "main", all from my keyboard. The code is even saved to a file called stdin. Great stuff! IMO, Corré book should be "front & center" on both the Icon and Unicon Home pages. Visitors should be steered to it, and made to scan through it ;) Icon/Unicon id different enough in key areas, that even a seasoned professional programmer would benefit from even a cursory review of the book.
