I started on the basics of scripting and it took me almost 9 months to get good
at scripting an application. Rhapsody was a real lesson learner for me. It just
takes a lot of mistakes to get things right. But the point is, start at the
beginning. I did every exercise of the basics of scripting no matter how silly
it seemed. I even include what I learned in the basics of scripting by the use
of my helper hotkeys menu so that it performs the script for you.
The point is, you have to have patience in learning this language and
eventually you will be coming up with new methods of your own and even have
your own style.

Mark, my post was really not intended to be discouraging, as others have
pointed out. Folks on this list can correct your mistakes for u--the key is do
u know *why* we quote something as opposed to when quoting isn't necessary, for
example.
I'm just sayin I think you're tryin' to do calculus when u haven't yet passed
algebra, as it were. Every house has to have a foundation--that also applies to
learning. I can't speak for all on list, but I think most of us on this list
would love it if u wrote something like:
I'm in chapter x of the basics of scripting manual. My assignment is y, & I'm
struggling w/the following code. Having those on list correct your code only
serves to foster continued dependence, *until* u learn the basics--at which
point u can then say, "o, yeah--it's a string--of course it would have to have
quotes". At that point, it serves as a learning tool. See the difference?
I personally really want u to learn. I think others on list share that
sentiment. But start on the first stair--don't try to take 5 at a time. Get the
foundations down, & b4 long, you'll be helpin others on this list.
