Thanks for an excellent program

[CaliforniaMark]

Thanks for creating an excellent computer program.  One of the great challenges in documenting or giving direct explanations is how much detail to include.  I have taught a few thousand (adult) students the principles of software engineering and Oracle database administration.  Whenever I get a question, I often have to restrain myself from telling the questioner everything I know about the subject.  There are two reasons why.  One, the class would be going forever.  Two, the extra detail (such as lists of exceptions to the general principles, and then exceptions to the exceptions) is very likely to overwhelm the beginning learner, leaving him confused and frustrated.  Of course, the trade-off is, if you don't warn him of the exceptions, he may encounter one, and then fail at some assignment at his job.

There is no easy answer to this dilemma.

Thanks for your patience in answering questions on the Forum, and your skill in creating the program.  As I use it more, I may find some specific suggestions.
