Thanks!  I had fun making it.  (And I can find my own script examples 
faster now.)

Fun and learned much.  Those are just the right words for me to hear.

The current "A Simple Primer Primer" does not adjust font properties 
for platforms and uses design-time script-callout adjustments instead 
of runtime adjustments.

Though this was fun, it did take a while, and I wouldn't want making 
primers to become a burden for folks.  People can take their time or 
use a different style.

You might have noticed that the last third is a little weak and I 
completely ignored the interaction with 'wait'.  Maybe that is right 
for a primer, but it is mostly because I wanted to get it out the door.
