Comparing Rev to other multimedia apps at NECC

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Okay, so here we have a file with the names of our students and the 
scores that they received on various tests they have taken.  Between 
the name of the student and the list of grades there is a comma, and 
between the grades for the various tests we have a space.  This gives 
us a list that looks like this:

Joe,100 98 69 87
Steve,90 80 86 72
Nancy,80 90 85 95
(...)

We want to find the sum of the grades that all of the students received 
on the first test (e.g. 100+90+80).

(I think you can fill it in from here...)
