hmm. I did programm structures. Although I havn't seen actual c here is my translation. instance. An instance is the current thing running at that time, and previous instances ofcause. And well commands and interupts. Its not all of it but I did 2 programming courses and I well I have some knowledge. But mail me off list I may attempt to learn all the studio things. We will see.
