=============
my 2 cents: 

Go through the supplied tutorials AND the examples, then try to build a 
something SMALL yourself--Rome wasn't built in a day. Be willing to invest 
some time in getting used to the XTalk syntax. If you don't get a routine to 
work as expected, do some experimenting as well as checking the dictionary 
and supplied documentation. Like any large reference work, the documentation 
has strong and weak areas, so you won't always find there an answer to your 
problem. If all else fails, post to the mailing list. There are always 
helpful people around.
