What About Newbies

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Tom,

Welcome to this list.
Don't let you be intimated by those you call gurus: in a few months  
(or a little bit longer :-), you can become one of them.
All advanced users on this list are kind people who *love* to answer  
newbies (or not) questions.
Only a little advice: try to be the most precise you can be in your  
requests (I know it's difficult when beginning) and avoid too large  
scope questions which would request a book or two: posts on this list  
are limited to 15 KB :-)

You have already got relevant answers from others.
I shall add you might be interested by:

. RevJournal at http://www.revjournal.com/tutorials/index.html where  
you will find links and articles one of which, especially dedicated  
to beginners, is an extensive explanation of "if/then/else"  
conditional structure.
. My web-site (address below) where you will be able to download  
Tutorials Picker: I have already released 17 tutorials stacks. Some  
of them are a bit complicated for beginners but others will help you  
to get started with many basic features.
. You could check also the following links:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Transcript/
http://h.webring.com/hub?ring=runtimerevoluti1
which are good doors to Revolution sites.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
