And you are right - your materials are simply great. I`m sorry to ask questions that are answered in detail in your publications. Nevertheless - that is the way I´m learning. Being in need to produce day by day new SW-texts for my pupils I am limited to what I already know. In case that you have already explained a detail - (mostly spelling- problems) I´m sorry and apologize to disturb you . I don´t want to steel your time. Just a short hint - read the manual chapter xcy would help sometimes. On the other hand it may be a matter of competence to be able to memorize and understand all the possible problems that show up during daily practice. I talked to a computer - freak some time ago to explain a specific printer - problem and all he wrote back via email was RTFM Its not my register of language but I understood that he felt angry that I asked him instead of "reading the f... manual" So it is so kind of you to answer in such a polite form : > Remember when you were surprised to notice that I had taught the > SignWriter computer program step by step in the manuals?

One difference between the one who teaches and the one who is in teh process of learning may be, that the cognitiv map of the teacher is so clearly drawn ..... ;-) I`ll do my best and will let you know !!
