Thanks everyone, and sorry for my earlier ranting. But I think I'm going to be setting RS aside for a while. Its not the solution I had hoped it to be. Maybe when I saw the magazine at the newsstand I confused the program with another famous one with a similar name. Right now my life is in too much chaos to deal the additional frustration of learning a new program that has too many irregularities for me to deal with. I'm out of work, on the verge of loosing my home, and worst I am very worried I am coming down with glaucoma. I had hoped RS would have been the replacement for my aging (and academic license) versions of other software, but so far I am not seeing it having any capabilities as opposed to other software that I have and already know better how to use. A musician friend wants me to do cover art for a music CD he's working on. I had thought about using RS, but there is not enough time to learn it well enough. I was planning or making some interlocking blobbies (the kind of music is called "filk" and of a science fiction and fantasy folk variety, so he wants a rather abstract SF/F art for it.).
Anyway, thanks for being tolerant, and I'm sure that RS has some qualities that i have yet to discover. Right now though, with all my other problems going on, I can't really deal with it right now.
