Well, I appreciate your advice. But I *do* understand *most* of it. I'm 
just asking about what I *don't* understand. You guys that have the 
glorious advantage of having learned from professionals either as a 
student or as a co-worker have no concept of how difficult this is to 
learn by one's self. Indeed, I've spent all_day_yesterday_and_today 
studying this material. And I've read and re-read quite literally dozens 
of thick books on programming over the years.
