Actually, that was one of the things I was doing in "The Book"; and will
still be one of the most useful tools for the beginning FBer. Since I AM
planning to Carbonize "The Book", although I am going to simplify it
considerably as I do so; aiming mostly at Carbon Apps, Shells and Demos
will be where I will redirect my emphasis, removing much of the overly
verbose dialog that I had such fun doing, but was often of little benefit
to others. None of you had the guts to tell me that, for which my
would have been wounded ego thanks you, but one can kid oneself only
so long, and then the truth comes out. Actually, all of the stuff I did let
me learn a lot. I just hope it can make the Carbon transition.

We'll see!

PS -- Having noted BB's comments, "The Book"'s new incarnation will
enable me to incorporate the FAQs into an OS X app just as he suggests,
particularly since the Qs can "there" be demonstrated as well as answered.
But they still need to be on the Website for those who don't have the CD
and/or don't want to download the large file that it will be. Of course, the
FAQs could be extracted, using one of the "Shells" from "The Book" as an
example of using a Shell, AND providing a much smaller app with JUST
the FAQs MAM. (As Jack Webb would have said!!!!!)
