Didn't realize I was drawing enough attention to myself to be
remembered from note to note.  Yes, I will freely admit that
what I am doing is not all that bright.  Attempting a major
Macintosh programming project without any Macintosh documentation
(and without a Mac for that matter!) is an exercise in
frustration and futility.  I knew nothing about my situation
when I came to Spain, so I didn't bring anything that wasn't
absolutely necessary (ie Inside Mac).  My approach has been to
grab whatever information I can through ftp and an occasional
stupid question to the net.  I apologize for asking questions
when I often know darn well where to find the answer.  I try
not to do it very often, and since I understand that I am
riding the ragged edge of netiquette, I invite anyone to 
ignore such requests if they want to do so.  Besides, I am
hoping that many of the net readers will benefit from this
project when it is done.  When I get back to the US in
August, I'll test my project on a real Mac, verifying
its code using real documentation.  Until then, I keep digging,
and I'll try and ask a few less dumb questions.

Thanks for your patience. :-)

Eric
