Hey Richard - thanks for the link.

I'm in agreement with you. When I first started using RR, I did the same
thing..wrote a PropList plugin which allowed me to compare the properties of
two different objects. This way, I could find an object I liked in another
stack and recreate the property list for a similar object in my stack. A
great tool for learning. It can be found at:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Plugins.htm

I believe your stack will also let a user set the properties...mine only
compares the properties.

Another thing I found helpful (and I still do this), is RTM. What I mean is,
purchase the manuals (I bought MC and RR both) and spend some time each
evening just perusing the *huge* lists of properties, functions and handler
examples. It's amazing what you can learn by just reading a bit each night.

Lastly, early on as a new RR/MC user, I spent quite a number of hours
perusing the list archives. It's truly amazing the value there. Sure would
be cool to figure out a way to somehow *organize* all those cool tips and
techniques into a document of sort. Anyway, it was time well spent.
