[Coco] How do you program?

[Bob Devries]

Jim,
while I've never used a flow chart per se, I do write down some of the 
aspects of what the programme should do, then I sit at the keyboard and 
write the module functions that I've written down, and join them togather.

But hey, I never said that I'm a programmer :)
