Yep, a little rough. Got a good book. My question isn't how to pass arguments.
I
know how to do that. My question is far more specific. It's why don't I have to
pass the e:Event argument? Why does the compiler complain that I only pass one
argument when I try to pass the other since apparently the first argument is
passed automatically? How can I pass that first argument manually when I can't
even see what it is? Didn't notice that Moock addressed those questions, so I
thought I'd ask here. Would you be so kind as to address those questions, not
how to "pass arguments"?
TIA,
John
