thank you for your reply. i had already bookmarked your web-page, and i credit 
it with a great portion of my still-limited understanding of what's going on 
inside this box of mine.

i agree google's a terrific resource, as is the Handbook, of which i do have a 
copy.  i must be more of a visual need-to-watch-someone-else kinda learner, i 
guess, and which is a bit harder to do in isolation behind a computer screen. 
i still notice a big gap between what i can accomplish based on reading the 
Handbook, say, and what others here & elsewhere seem able to do/understand.

thanks again.
