Thanks Aaron,

I have a much better idea of where to file this discussion now. My Programming 
experiences have been limited to CoCo BASIC, IBM mainframe Assembler, COBOL, 
FORTRAN, and a few other languages that are not in much use today <sigh>. 
Although I do have some very limited exposure to C++... I was teaching it 8-O. 
I am NOT a programmer however, which is why I am not familiar with this tool.
