I am glad you said this.  I have been avoiding understanding this 'self',
just accepting it :}  For the time being, since my programs I am creating
are for my own use, I think I will make my own names up, that are
descriptive to me as the programmer, it's all going to be interpreted
anyway.  And the other email equating to C's argv, etc. - now I get it.

Careful about the names you make-up -- to aid yourself and others you don't want to have dozen's of different names that all basically mean 'this instance that I'm currently working on'.
