I was simply responding to the fact that newbieimps were flammed to death for asking about a doc to help add classes. From the question, all newbieimps were flammed for asking anything about everything and that we don't do anything on our own. Before I even think about putting a question up here, I search for the answer on my own by looking at the code and other types of code, referring to the little C knowledge I have and the C book I am using, and a little common sense. But I would at least like to have the knowledge that if I, a newbieimp, should decide to use this mailing list to learn a little more from you guruimps as you do with this list, I won't get flammed like the previous one for being a newbie imp.
