Losing the amateur

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Thanks for the response Heather.
(and I can't wait for my manuals) p.s. I heard they were just what is 
in the built-in help file. Is it true? Are there, can there be any 
'more' examples put in. I very rarely need or use the ones I see. I 
usually am looking for something else when I look up a word and as such 
the examples have not really helped. maybe a don't use example as well. 
FWIW

I have re-awakened with Revolution that part of me that died when SC 
stopped going cross-platform. I am starting to get creative again. 
Which I could not seem to find with Director.

Let's get on with the Revolution.
