   Haha, yes, well beyond my ability as well, at this point.  Sounds    
   like a fun project to work towards though!  I'm probably going to    
   find one of those online "tutorial" sites that start from the very    
   basics and progress forwards through more advanced topics.  I    
   think there are several free ones around.
