About the only advice I can give you to such a broad question is the aphorism "Be strict about what you send; be generous about what you receive". IOW, follow the standards very very carefully in sending messages but be very very lenient with what you accept (just make sure you don't crash). Overall, you probably will get discouraged eventually, so I suggest that you try to have as much fun as possible along the way. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "...if I were on life-support, I'd rather have it run by a Gameboy than a Windows box." --Cliff Wells -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
