One   
   author may speak to you more clearly than another... and just start   
   programming... anything.  I usually tell people to start with books that cover   
   the basics, kind of like those tutorials you mention, then try to keep moving   
   toward more involved books.   
      
   I don't know much about the programming language that Mystic offers, you'll   
   have better luck discussing that aspect in the MYSTIC echo... Now over here, I   
   run BBBS and its programming language uses features of C, Pascal and perl...   
   (just enough to keep it confusing ) but with my knowledge of those   
   languages, I was able to use BBBS' language to create some utilities, modify   
   some ANSI games to use under BBBS, etc.   
      
   Good luck to you, and don't give up...   
      
   Take care,
