Re: XPL - XAP



Ian -

>it's not easy ...

a worked example would help a lot ... just something simple, not one
of those really (really really really) annoying Hello World
introductory examples that got one step at a time & appear in so many
programming books ... just a complete parts-list (as it were) & an
annotated code-listing, for something useful, so we know what we need
& see how it (at least some it) works ... nothing complicated, just
something to get us started !
