Hi Alejandro,
FYI - I found this in my "Drafts" folder. If I sent it previously, please

Hi Calvin,
Did you created a flowchart
of the software that you
want to create?

Hi Richard,
Ye Sir! Your tone and attitude, as well as the content reflect exactly that of
my mentor. He's been at it about two years. He goes by "Doc." At least that was
his moniker when I became acquainted with him. He's a great guy!
Thanks for the encouragement.
Fair winds,
Calvin

Hi,
I have just begun in LC and frankly, some of the comments in the "Vent!"
thread scares me! Also, I have/am reading all the FAQ stuff I can, but it's
tough to sort it all out at his time, so if I ask a inappropriate(read:
"dumb")question, just send me to my room. PLEASE don't hit me?!?
I have a graphics-dragging app that has been coded and complies into a single
exec. Do all apps created in LC compile to a single exec, say an app that has
a database?
Thanks for the help... I'm gonna need it!
Calvin
