Al,

Very clever bezier addition. Still trying to figure it out. I think 
my solution to the residual graphics clutter was to double click the 
bezier line to delete all the handles.

Having learned programming as most physicists do, on the street (I'm 
sure it shows) I don't know much about the education of a programmer. 
But I suspect they get a good bit of math in the process, and, as you 
say, a little physics would often be helpful.

I can't imaging what a Railroad Construction Kit might be. Well, 
maybe I can. I doubt that I have the graphic skills to make it 
attractive.
