Hi, Christina

Stop worrying about and just do it. Learning new syntax is a pain at first,

but it's really pretty easy. Knowing what you "want" to do in the code is

the hard part, and you've already got that whipped!

I've been doing this since 1958, through assembler, JOVIAL, COBOL, ALGOL,

APL, FORTRAN, BASIC, C, dBASE and FoxPro, and I can tell you that while the

mechanics change, the underlying job of designing a program to do what you

need to get done does not. Good luck!

Dan
