Randall,

Wow, that's a violently huge assumption!

i had a coworker, very smart lady needed help with a
shell script. She came to me after searching, trying
books, she had really tried. I gave here one (1) real
life working example. Now she is tearing the place down,
riffing off of my example and doing stuff i hadn't
dreamed of.

As a amateur musician can i give you another example?
Clapton stole riffs note for note from BB King and
and his own style evolved from that. We steal from
here and there and come up with something new.

So thanks for the link. I'll walk thru your code and
will learn a lot from you...I hope.
