The tutorial was great! But as the others have pointed out it doesn't
introduce all the features necessary to get going. So DON'T change it!
Instead, consider providing "feature specific" tutorials. Using the same
'hand holding' style of the current tutorial add other examples (like
database, etc). So they could be distributed as mini-volumes... The current
tutorial would be "Tutorial Volume 1: Creating a simple Document Processor"
(Volume 2: Creating a simple database). From reading the Main listserv it
looks like even advanced RB programmers would benefit from a series or two
dedicated to some of the more complex issues ("Controlling Office using
RB"). Personally, I learn more from clearly documented examples (as the
tutorial clearly is!) than from short code vignettes (like those provided in
the language reference) or long verbose "how to" dialog (like most computer
programming books).

I did it.
It's OK - needs more variation and of the functionality.
I didn't like that it didn't address databases or graphics handling.
Thanks
