    Folks---

    Thanks to all who responded to my plight.  There seemed to be two
consensus recommendations:

    (1) "Macintosh Revealed," while perhaps slightly out-of-date with
respect to the II/IIx, remains a valuable "how-to" resource.  Another
addition to my computer library..!

    (2) Paul DuBois' "TranSkel" is nearly priceless as exemplar code.
Unfortunately, I can't access sumex from my site, and I couldn't find
TranSkel on MAUG; could some kind soul possibly forward me an
LSP-compatible (or nearly-compatible) version?  I'll bless you for the rest
of my days.

    One respondent suggested using "Prototyper" to build the front-end of
applications.  Has anyone Out There used "Prototyper" extensively?
Thoughts? Recommendations?

    Again, thanks to all for their time and patience.  I'm *sure* you'll be
hearing from me again!

    Cheers.
