Joseph has come up with an extremely good way to address the various tasks
that can be handled with REALbasic. Having the separate mini-tutorials makes
it less daunting. It also would allow only the inclusion of only material
pertinent to the specific task at hand, keeping them smaller.
The tutorial was too brief - not real world examples, though ot was a good
tour of the simple power of REALbasic.
