Re: [BLUG] C/C++

Thanks--I'll give this a try next week.

It's NOT an irrational fear of the command line--I'd just like to make
that clear. My fear is of command line text editors. So, it's a very
specific irrational fear. More akin to a dog who flips out when the
fridge kicks on, but who is unbothered by the vacuum cleaner and the
washer and dryer and dishwasher. As opposed to a dog with a fear of
strange noises...

Ana (who is still trying to figure out how to be in Dayton, Ohio at
7:00 am, without having to just STAY up until 3:00 am, then loading up
the collie and the cooler and leaving...)
