Pierre, actually bro I think you have done a pretty good job based on what I saw on your web site in terms of a getting started package.

I think the simple/complicated dichotomy is more apparent than real. To me, first glance—and several after that!—it looked complicated.

But having gone back to it several times, and reading the help file starting guide today, I can also see the underlying simplicity and elegance of what is there.

Part of that approach is my learning style for new info—it seems I am easily overwhelmed or give up too easily at the beginning, so I know I have to keep coming back and coming back until my brain says, “oh, I get it now.”

And, btw, there’s nothing condescending about what you wrote.
