Sounds like what happens to me every time I try to learn LISP or
Smalltalk.....

The thing I always find fascinating is the textbooks show you how to
add 5 and 6, but not how to scan a configuration file; or they show
you how to do a bubble sort, but not how to react to user input.  It
seems as if general disk I/O is a no-no.

Thus, I never seem to be able to find a way to do anything useful in
languages like LISP or Smalltalk - or even Scheme - I wound up with TI
PC Scheme on 5.25" once - still have it :-)

Of course, having an expert you can pester helps too....
