Tex, thanks for the extended and insightful post on the page numbering. I just now read every bit of it and it all makes sense. (I read the linked content earlier). Kevin, your input is also helpful, although when perl and python are used in any sentence, my brain glazes over (any success in those areas has also ever been dumb luck for me; I learn from patterns but I never learned to actually speak the language of that code like others have —*I don't spend enough time with it to make studying it worthwhile.)
Here in this thread, the situation is like two responsible adults calling out to a kid who's walking into the riptide and you're yelling: "Don't walk into the riptide" and I'm like: "It's okay, I'm a strong swimmer." At this point, it's a matter of seeing how far I get sucked out into the ocean before I need to get rescued.
That said, I made it all the way to "F" in the Index last night. Cool Runnings!
